Abstract:

We propose a new anisotropic optimal transport model based on the theory of currents, where the anisotropic cost function splits as the product of a factor depending only on the spatial direction and a factor depending only on the multiplicity of the current. We prove that the planar transport problem admits a minimizer. In arbitrary dimension, we show that a minimizer exists provided that the ambient space endowed with the anisotropic norm is hypermetric.
