Annotation
A variational method for determining the peculiar velocities of galaxies using a catalog of their positions and masses is suggested. The method is based on an approximate reconstruction of the dynamical history of the patch of the Universe covered by the catalog through the optimization of a suitable integral action functional and is an improvement on the method of the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation problem developed in [1].
