TITLE:    A mass transport appraoch for the relativistic heat 
          equation.

ABSTRACT: In this talk, we present the Jordan-Kinderleherer-Otto's 
          discrete scheme to construct solutions for the relativistic 
          heat equation. This scheme is based on a mass transport 
          problem involving a discontinuous cost function which 
          is characterisitic for a relativistic phenomenum and the 
          underlying mass transport problem is one of the principal 
          difficulties. The limiting process to obtain the continuous 
          equation involves a monotonicity argument. This is a joint 
          work with X. Cabre, J.A. Carrillo and R. McCann.
