The Monge Ampère equation[1] is an nonlinear second-order elliptic partial differential equation. Given sufficient conditions on an optimal transport problem, the Monge Ampère equation defines a change of variables formula for the pushforward of a transport map. In particular, the Monge Ampère equation applies to a variant of the Monge Problem where the cost function is quadratic.
