Our first result is about the $C^{1,\\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary for optimal partial transport between convex domains for densities $f, g$ bounded from below and above. When $f, g \\in C^\\alpha$, and $\\partial\\Omega, \\partial\\Omega^*\\in C^{1,1}$ are far apart, by adopting our recent results on boundary regularity of Monge-Amp\\`ere equations \\cite{CLW1}, our second result shows that the free boundaries are $C^{2,\\alpha}$. As an application, in the last we also obtain these regularities of the free boundary in an optimal transport problem with two separate targets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-11-25T09:50:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free boundary", "optimal transportation", "optimal partial transport", "optimal transport problem", "quadratic cost" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
