Optimal Transportation and Applications
by Luigi Ambrosio, Luis A. Caffarelli, Yann Brenier, Giuseppe Buttazzo, and Cedric Villani
Leading researchers in the field of Optimal Transportation, with different views and perspectives, contribute to this Summer School volume: Monge-Ampère and Monge-Kantorovich theory, shape optimization and mass transportation are linked, among others, to applications in fluid mechanics granular material physics and statistical mechanics, emphasizing the attractiveness of the subject from both a theoretical and applied point of view.
The volume is designed to become a guide to researchers willing to enter into this challenging and useful theory.

Optimal Urban Networks via Mass Transportation
by Giuseppe Buttazzo, Aldo Pratelli, Sergio Solimini, and Eugene Stepanov
Recently much attention has been devoted to the optimization of transportation networks in a given geographic area. One assumes the distributions of population and of services/workplaces (i.e. the network's sources and sinks) are known, as well as the costs of movement with/without the network, and the cost of constructing/maintaining it. Both the long-term optimization and the short-term, "who goes where," optimization are considered. These models can also be adapted for the optimization of other types of networks, such as telecommunications, pipeline or drainage networks. In the monograph we study the most general problem settings, namely, when neither the shape nor even the topology of the network to be constructed is known a priori.

Modelling and Optimisation of Flows on Networks
by Luigi Ambrosio, Alberto Bressan, Dirk Helbing, Axel Klar, and Enrique Zuazua
This book presents an extensive set of notes by world leaders on the main mathematical techniques used to address such problems, together with investigations into specific applications. The main focus is on partial differential equations in networks, but ordinary differential equations and optimal transport are also included. Moreover, the modeling is completed by analysis, numerics, control and optimization of flows in networks.
The book will be a valuable resource for every researcher or student interested in the subject.
