Optimality conditions for solutions belonging to restricted classes (Lipschitz controls, bang-bang controls, etc.) (49K30) Variational problems in a geometric measure-theoretic setting (49Q20)

Abstract: We consider the multidimensional Monge-Kantrovich transport problem in an abstract setting. Our main results state that if a cost function and marginal measures are invariant by a family of transformations, then a solution of the Kantrovich relaxation problem and a solution of its dual can be chosen so that they are invariant under the same family of transformations. This provides a new tool to study and analyze the support of optimal transport plans and consequently to scrutinize the Monge problem. Birkhoff's Ergodic theorem is an essential tool in our analysis.
