Optimal Transportation Problems with Free Dirichlet Regions

A Dirichlet region for an optimal mass transportation problem is, roughly speaking, a zone in which the transportation cost is vanishing. We study the optimal transportation problem with an unknown Dirichlet region Σ which varies in the class of closed connected subsets having prescribed 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. We show the existence of an optimal Σ opt and study some of its geometrical properties. We also present numerical computations which show the shape of Σ opt in some model examples.
