Abstract
A numerical method for the solution of the elliptic Monge-Ampere Partial Differential Equation, with boundary conditions corresponding to the Optimal Transportation (OT) problem is presented. A local representation of the OT boundary conditions is combined with a finite difference scheme for the Monge-Ampere equation. Newton's method is implemented leading to a fast solver, comparable to solving the Laplace equation on the same grid several times. Theoretical justification for the method is given by a convergence proof in the companion paper (Benamou et al., 2012). In this paper, the algorithm is modified to a simpler compact stencil implementation and details of the implementation are given. Solutions are computed with densities supported on non-convex and disconnected domains. Computational examples demonstrate robust performance on singular solutions and fast computational times.
