PIMS online graduate course on Optimal Transport + Gradient Flows

In the fall term of 2023, Soumik Pal (UW) and Young-Heon Kim (UBC), will offer a graduate course on Optimal Transport

  • Gradient Flows. This course is part of the PIMS Network Wide Graduate Courses program and will be accessible remotely. Students in the PIMS network of Universities will be able to register for credit through the Western Deans Agreement.
Free boundary problems in optimal transportation

Locally Lipschitz selection in the principal-agent problem
Robert McCann (The University of Toronto)
We prove the agent’s choice will be a locally Lipschitz function of their type in the subclass of principal-agent problems considered …
