Local regularity result for an optimal transportation problem with rough measures in the plane

We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely continuous measures. For each measure, we introduce a discrete scale so that the measure behaves as an absolutely continuous measure up to that scale. Our main theorem then proves that such convex functions cannot exhibit any flat part at a scale larger than the corresponding discrete scales on the measures. This, in turn, implies a $C^1$ regularity result up to the discrete scale for the Legendre transform. Our result applies in particular to any Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between two measures that are (possibly only locally) sums of uniformly distributed Dirac masses. The proof relies on novel explicit estimates directly based on the optimal transportation problem, instead of the Monge-Ampere equation.

Global weak solutions of PDEs for compressible media: A compactness criterion to cover new physical situations

This short paper is an introduction of the memoir recently written by the two authors (see [D.Bresch., P.--E. Jabin, arXiv:1507.04629, (2015)]) which concerns the resolution of two longstanding problems: Global existence of weak solutions for compressible Navier-Stokes equations with thermodynamically unstable pressure and with anisotropic stress tensor. We focus here on a Stokes-like system which can for instance model flows in a compressible tissue in biology or in a compressible porous media in petroleum engineering. This allows us to explain, on a simpler but still relevant and important system, the tools recently introduced by the authors and to discuss the important results that have been obtained on the compressible Navier--Stokes equations. It is finally a real pleasure to dedicate this paper to G. Metivier for his 65's Birthday. The article will appear in the corresponding special issue, Springer INdAM-Series, Eds F. Colombini, D. Del Santos, D. Lannes (2016).
