Abstract:
\begin{abstract}In recent years different authors have noticed and investigated some analogy between Mather's theory of minimal measures in Lagrangian dynamic and the mass transportation (or Monge-Kantorovich) problem. We replace the clousure and homological constraints of Mather's problem with boundary terms and we invesigate the equivalence with the mass transportation problem. %alence in general fails for superlinear Lagrangians. Actually, we % prove that the mass transportation problem is a constrained version of such problem % which recover the original Mather's problem in the case of zero boundary term. An Hamiltonian duality formula for the mass transportation and the equivalence with Brenier's formulation are also established.
