A perturbation argument for a Monge-Ampère type equation arising in optimal transportation (Q2453970)

This paper is concerned with some interior regularity properties for potential functions of optimal transportation problems with power costs. The problem to be studied is seen as a perturbation of the Monge-Ampère equation. The first part of this paper deals with a quick review on optimal transportation for convex costs. The proof of the main result combines a comparison to the optimal transport problem with quadratic cost to obtain a good initial control, and a comparison principle for Dirichlet solutions, which allows to show that the potential is close to a quadratic polynomial locally.
