On global Hölder estimates for optimal transportation

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We generalize a well-known result of L. Caffarelli on Lipschitz estimates for optimal transportation TT between uniformly log-concave probability measures. Let T:Rd→RdT : \R^d \to \R^d be an optimal transportation pushing forward μ=e−Vdxμ= e^{-V}dx to ν=e−Wdxν= e^{-W}dx. Assume that 1) the second differential quotient of VV can be estimated from above by a power function, 2) modulus of convexity of WW can be estimated from below by Aq∣x∣1+qA_q |x|^{1+q}, q≥1q \ge 1. Under these assumptions we show that TT is globally Hölder with a dimension-free coefficient. In addition, we study optimal transportation TT between μμ and the uniform measure on a bounded convex set K⊂RdK \subset \R^d. We get estimates for the Lipschitz constant of TT in terms of dd, diam(K){diam(K)} and DV,D2VD V, D^2 V.
