Abstract:

We show that there is a PDE formulation in terms of Fokker-Planck equations for weak optimal transport problems. The main novelty is that we introduce a minimization problem involving Fokker-Planck equations in the extended sense of measure-valued solutions and prove that it is equal to the associated weak transport problem.
