Numerical solution of the Monge–Kantorovich problem by density lift-up continuation
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 49 (2015) no. 6, pp. 1577-1592.

We present an numerical method to solve the L 2 Monge–Kantorovich problem. The method is based on a continuation approach where we iteratively solve the linearized mass conservation equation, progressively decreasing a constant lift-up to map compact support densities in the limit. A Lagrangian as well as an Eulerian integration scheme are proposed. Several examples relative to the transport of two-dimensional densities are investigated, showing that the present methods can significantly reduce the computational effort.
