Combinatorial questions in optimal transport Angel, Omer
Description
Several problems in extremal combinatorics arise from a new
generalization of the optimal coupling theorem to multiple random
variables: Given a collection of random variables, it is possible to
couple all of them so that any two differ with probability comparable to
the total-variation distance between them. A typical problem is to
maximize various functionals over a selection of an element from each
subset of $[n]$ of size $k$.
