We consider the problem of finding an optimal transport plan between an absolutely continuous measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a finitely supported measure $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ when the transport cost is the Euclidean distance. We may think of this problem as closest distance allocation of some ressource continuously distributed over space to a finite number of processing sites with capacity constraints. This article gives a detailed discussion of the problem…
