Abstract: This paper considers the evolution dynamics of the free boundaries in terms of the change of $m$, the allowed amount of transported mass or the change of $lambda$, the transportation cost cap, i.e. the allowed maximum cost for a unit mass to be transported. Focusing on the quadratic cost function, we show H"older and Lipschitz estimates on the speed of the free boundary motion in terms of $m$ and $lambda$, respectively. It is also shown that the parameter $m$ is a Lipschitz function of $lambda$, which previously was known only to be a continuous increasing function cite{Ca-Mc}.

Review text

In this interesting paper, the authors analyze the dynamical behavior of the solution to the optimal partial transport problem, continuing the study initiated in [\textit{L. A. Caffarelli} and \textit{R. J. McCann}, Ann. Math. (2) 171, No. 2, 673--730 (2010; Zbl 1196.35231)]. In this context, free boundaries naturally arise as the boundary of the region where the actual transport occurs. The authors formulate the partial transport problem in two equivalent forms, using \(m\) or \(\lambda\), where \(m\) is the allowed amount of transported mass, and \(\lambda\) is the allowed maximum cost for a unit mass to be transported. As these parameters increase, the so-called active region, where the transport of mass actually occurs, changes monotonically. The authors investigate quantitative estimates on the change of the active region with respect to changes on \(m\) or \(\lambda\). Focusing on the cost function \(c(x,y)=\frac{1}{2}|x-y|^2\), the authors show Hölder and Lipschitz estimates on the speed of the free boundary motion in terms of the change of \(m\), or the change of \(\lambda\). It is also shown that \(m\) is a Lipschitz function of \(\lambda\). The key ingredient of this paper is a monotonicity of the potential functions associated to the partial transport problem.
