A variational proof of partial regularity for optimal transportation maps
A variational proof of partial regularity for optimal transportation maps
We provide a new proof of the known partial regularity result for the optimal transportation map (Brenier map) between two sets. Contrary to the existing regularity theory for the Monge-Amp{è}re equation, which is based on the maximum principle, our approach is purely variational. By constructing a competitor on the level …
