Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized approximations. Motivated by fluid flowbased transportation on Rn, however, this paper introduces an alternative definition of optimal transportation between dist...

Catalytic heterogeneous hydrogenation processes arguably belong to the most valuable synthetic transformations known. Current batch reactor technology is not only time consuming and difficult to set up but also catalyst addition and filtration is hazardous. Because of the aromatic character of many substrates, hydrogenation often requires the use of significant hydrogen pressures in combination...

The theory of optimal forest management has been developed in terms of discrete time while a consistent continuous time version of the MitraWan model has never been developed in the literature. No specific economic reason dictates that the discrete time framework should be preferred to the continuous time one, so that it may be the technical complexity that continuous time introduces into the a...
