From this, we deduce a sufficient condition for the optimality of transport maps.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-18T11:39:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49Q20", "53C21" ], "keywords": [ "quadratic cost", "c-concavity", "sufficient condition", "transport maps", "riemannian" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
