Abstract:
We study Kantorovich type optimal transportation problems with nonlinear cost functions, including dependence on conditional measures of transport plans. A range of nonlinear Kantorovich problems for cost functions of a special form is considered and results on existence (or non-existence) of optimal solutions are proved. We also establish the connection between the nonlinear Kantorovich problem with the cost function of some special form and the Monge problem with convex dominance.
