It is known from clever mathematical examples cite{Ca10} that the Monge ansatz may fail in continuous two-marginal optimal transport (alias optimal coupling alias optimal assignment) problems. Here we show that this effect already occurs for finite assignment problems with $N=3$ marginals, $ell=3$ sites, and symmetric pairwise costs, with the values for $N$ and $ell$ both being optimal. Our counterexample is a transparent consequence of the convex geometry of the set of symmetric Kantorovich plans for $N=ell=3$, which -- as we show -- possess 22 extreme points, only 7 of which are Monge. These extreme points have a simple physical meaning as irreducible molecular packings, and the example corresponds to finding the minimum energy packing for Frenkel-Kontorova interactions. Our finite example naturally gives rise, by superposition, to a continuous one, where failure of the Monge ansatz manifests itself as nonattainment and formation of microstructure.
We present a new ansatz space for the general symmetric multi-marginal Kantorovich optimal transport problem on finite state spaces which reduces the number of unknowns from $tbinom{N+ell-1}{ell-1}$ to $ellcdot(N+1)$, where $ell$ is the number of mar
We solved the Frenkel-Kontorova model with the potential $V(u)= -frac{1}{2} |lambda|(u-{rm Int}[u]-frac{1}{2})^2$ exactly. For given $|lambda|$, there exists a positive integer $q_c$ such that for almost all values of the tensile force $sigma$, the w
A 1D model of interacting particles moving over a periodic substrate and in a position dependent temperature profile is considered. When the substrate and the temperature profile are spatially asymmetric a center-of-mass velocity develops, correspond
A two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model is set up. Its application to the tribology is considered. The materials and the commensurability between two layers strongly affect the static friction force. It is found that the static friction force is la
In this note we obtain the characterization for asymptotic directions on various subgroups of the diffeomorphism group. We give a simple proof of non-existence of such directions for area-preserving diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces of non-zero curv
