Заседание НИС на факультете математики. Linear programming and mass transportation. Basic facts, new results, and open questions.

Александр Викторович Колесников

Recent developments of the mass transportation theory were discussed. Starting with basic theorems of linear programming, Kantorovich duality theory,  and discrete mass transportation, we continued with discussion of recent results and related open problems. We put a special emphasis on applications in economics and stochastic processes.
