Kantorovich theorem
The Kantorovich theorem, in the context of optimal transport, addresses how to efficiently move resources from one location to another while minimizing costs. It states that under certain mathematical conditions, you can find the best way to transport goods or resources between two distributions (like populations or different market areas). The theorem provides a framework to not only transport goods at the lowest cost but also to ensure that the movement respects the constraints imposed by the distributions involved. Essentially, it helps in making logistics and resource allocation more efficient.
