Abstract

The concept of optimal transportation of densities has become very popular in the 10 last years with numerous applications in very different fields of pure and applied mathematics. (See [14] for a recent review.) In this contribution, we discuss a generalization of this concept for flows (and not only densities) and its connection with the nonlinear Electromagnetism of Born and Infeld [4].


Key words: Optimal Transportation Theory, Nonlinear Electromagnetism, Fluid motion

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
