Catégorie d'évènement : Séminaire Équations aux Derivées Partielles et Applications (Nancy) Date/heure : 10 juin 2025 10:45-11:45 Lieu : Salle de conférences Nancy Oratrice ou orateur : Karol Bołbotowski (Université de Varsovie) Résumé :It is well established that the L_1 optimal transport can be employed to characterize solutions of the Beckmann problem, where one looks for a vector-valued measure of minimal total variation with the constraint that fixes its divergence as the difference of two probabilities distributions. In turn, the Beckmann problem underlies optimal design of heat conductors.
I will talk about a second-order counterpart of this theory, where in the Beckmann problem we have a constraint on the double divergence. In 2D, this problem enjoys the interpretation of optimally designing a ceiling using a grillage structure. I will show that its solutions can be characterized through a new formulation where we look for a probability that dominates the data in the sense of convex order while attaining minimal variance. Afterwards, equivalent optimal transport formulations can be proposed for efficient numerical treatment.
