Optimal networks for mass transportation problems
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 11 (2005) no. 1, pp. 88-101.

In the framework of transport theory, we are interested in the following optimization problem: given the distributions μ + of working people and μ - of their working places in an urban area, build a transportation network (such as a railway or an underground system) which minimizes a functional depending on the geometry of the network through a particular cost function. The functional is defined as the Wasserstein distance of μ + from μ - with respect to a metric which depends on the transportation network.
