An Invitation to Optimal Transport, Wasserstein Distances, and Gradient Flows
Alessio Figalli, Federico Glaudo
This book provides a self-contained introduction to optimal transport, and it is intended as a starting point for any researcher who wants to enter into this beautiful subject. The presentation focuses on the essential topics of the theory: Kantorovich duality, existence and uniqueness of optimal transport maps, Wasserstein distances, the JKO scheme, Otto's calculus, and Wasserstein gradient flows. At the end, a presentation of some selected applications of optimal transport is given. The book is suitable for a course at the graduate level and also includes an appendix with a series of exercises along with their solutions.
