Popis: We derive iterative scaling algorithms of the Sinkhorn-Knopp (SK) type for constrained optimal transport. The constraints are in the form of prior-imposed zeroes in the transport plan. Based on classical Bregman arguments, we prove asymptotic convergence of our algorithms to a unique optimal solution. New insights obtained from the convergence proof are highlighted. An example from electrical vehicle charging in a smart city context is outlined, in which the prior zero-constraints prevent energy from being transported from some providers to some vehicles.
