主题：Optimal Transportation in the 21st Century

摘要：

In this talk we will concentrate on the interaction between optimal transportation and nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. After a brief introduction to the basic theory, we will describe the two fundamental conditions of co-dimension one matrix convexity and domain convexity with respect to cost functions and their application to regularity and convexity theory. We will then describe the recent extensions of cost functions to generating functions and the ensuing applications in optics and other areas.
