  1. This manuscript identifies a maximal system of equations which renders the classical Dar- boux problem elliptic, thereby providing a selection criterion for its well posedness. We establish uniqueness of factorization when the system is coupled with a Dirichlet datum. As a byproduct, we obtain, what we term symplectic decomposition of vector fields.

  2. We propose a new algorithm to approximate the Earth Mover's distance (EMD). Our main idea is motivated by the theory of optimal transport, in which EMD can be reformulated as a familiar L1 type minimization. We use a regularization which gives us a unique solution for this L1 type problem. The new regularized minimization is very similar to problems which have been solved in the fields of compressed sensing and image processing, where several fast methods are available. In this paper, we adopt a primal-dual algorithm designed there, which uses very simple updates at each iteration and is shown to converge very rapidly. Several numerical examples are provided.
