%0 Journal Article %T A maximum principle for pointwise energies of quadratic Wasserstein minimal networks %A Jonathan Dahl %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X We show that suitable convex energy functionals on a quadratic Wasserstein space satisfy a maximum principle on minimal networks. We explore consequences of this maximum principle for the structure of minimal networks. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.0236v3
