A continuous model of transportation in the Heisenberg group

Abstract We present a minimization problem with a horizontal divergence-type constraint in the Heisenberg group. Our study explores its dual formulation and examines its relationship with the congested optimal transport problem, for <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:mrow> <m:mn>1</m:mn> <m:mo>&lt;</m:mo> <m:mi>p</m:mi> <m:mo>&lt;</m:mo> <m:mrow> <m:mo>+</m:mo> <m:mi mathvariant="normal">∞</m:mi> </m:mrow> </m:mrow> </m:math> {1&lt;p&lt;+\infty} , as well as the Monge–Kantorovich problem, in the limit case <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:mrow> <m:mi>p</m:mi> <m:mo>=</m:mo> <m:mn>1</m:mn> </m:mrow> </m:math> {p=1} .
