Abstract

We first prove existence and uniqueness of optimal transportation maps for the Monge’s problem associated to a cost function with a strictly convex constraint in the Euclidean plane ℝ2. The cost function coincides with the Euclidean distance if the displacement y − x belongs to a given strictly convex set, and it is infinite otherwise. Secondly, we give a sufficient condition for existence and uniqueness of optimal transportation maps for the original Monge’s problem in ℝ2. Finally, we get existence of optimal transportation maps for a cost function with a convex constraint, i.e. y − x belongs to a given convex set with at most countable flat parts.
