Summary.
We obtain optimality conditions for Monge solutions of the Monge---Kantorovich problem with a smooth cost function. Also we give explicit solutions to Monge problems and to Monge---Kantorovich problems for several natural classes of cost functions.
Key Words:
Borel measure, marginal measure, measure preserving map, Monge problem, Monge--Kantorovich problem.
