Recent Advances In The Theory And Applications Of Mass Transport: Summer School On Mass Transportation Methods In Kinetic Theory And Hydrodynamics

This book contains both pedagogical review accounts and new results published for the first time, drawing on material from a September 2000 meeting on optimal mass transport and applications in physics. Specific topics include numerical analysis of a multi-phasic mass transport problem, extension of the Monge-Kantorovich theory to classical electrodynamics, the Monge Ampere equation and optimal transportation, and inequalities for generalized entropy and optimal transportation.
