Monge problem in optimal transport

Target entity: Monge problem in optimal transport
Context triple: [Gaspard Monge, knownFor, Monge problem in optimal transport]

• A. Optimal Transport: Old and New
  "Optimal Transport: Old and New" is a comprehensive monograph by Cédric Villani that develops the theory of optimal transport and its applications across analysis, geometry, and probability.
• B. Perelman’s entropy functionals
  Perelman’s entropy functionals are analytic quantities introduced by Grigori Perelman to study the behavior and singularities of the Ricci flow, playing a central role in his proof of the Poincaré and geometrization conjectures.
• C. Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry
  Carathéodory’s theorem in convex geometry is a fundamental result stating that any point in the convex hull of a set in ℝⁿ can be expressed as a convex combination of at most n+1 points from that set.
• D. Méthodes de calcul différentiel absolu et leurs applications
  Méthodes de calcul différentiel absolu et leurs applications is a foundational mathematical work that systematically develops the theory of tensor calculus and its applications, laying groundwork later used in general relativity.
• E. Grothendieck inequality
  The Grothendieck inequality is a fundamental result in functional analysis and theoretical computer science that bounds certain bilinear forms and has deep implications for Banach space theory, operator theory, and approximation algorithms.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
