A sharp inequality for transport maps in W^{1,p}(R) via approximation

Abstract

For $f$ convex and increasing, we prove the inequality $\int f(|U^{\prime }|)\ge \int f(n{T}^{\prime })$, every time that $U$ is a Sobolev function of one variable and $T$ is the non-decreasing map defined on the same interval with the same image measure as $U$, and the function $n(x)$ takes into account the number of pre-images of $U$ at each point. This may be applied to some variational problems in a mass-transport framework or under volume constraints.
