An efficient approach for the numerical solution of the Monge-Ampère equation

In this paper, we present a new method to compute the numerical solution of the elliptic Monge-Ampère equation. This method is based on solving a parabolic Monge-Ampère equation for the steady state solution. We study the problem of global existence, uniqueness, and convergence of the solution of the fully nonlinear parabolic PDE to the unique solution of the elliptic Monge-Ampère equation. Some numerical experiments are presented to show the convergence and the regularity of the numerical solution.     

Entire solutions to the Monge-Ampère equation

We consider the Monge-Ampère equation det(D²u)=Ψ(x,u,Du) in Rn, n?3, where Ψ is a positive function in C²(Rn×R×Rn). We prove the existence of convex solutions, provided there exist a subsolution of the form and a superharmonic bounded positive function φ satisfying: .

Pseudo-linear superposition principle for the Monge-Ampère equation based on generated pseudo-operations

Through this paper, we consider generated pseudo-operations of the following form: x⊕y=g⁻¹(g(x)+g(y)), x⊙y=g⁻¹(g(x)g(y)), where g is a continuous generating function. Pseudo-linear superposition principle, i.e., the superposition principle with this type of pseudo-operations in the core, for the Monge-Ampère equation is investigated.     

Solution of the Monge-Ampère equation on Wiener space for general log-concave measures

In this work we prove that the unique 1-convex solution of the Monge-Kantorovitch measure transportation problem between the Wiener measure and a target measure which has an H-log-concave density, in the sense of Feyel and Üstünel [J. Funct. Anal. 176 (2000) 400-428], w.r.t the Wiener measure is also the strong solution of the Monge-Ampère equation in the frame of infinite-dimensional Fréchet spaces. We further enhance the polar factorization results of the mappings which transform a spread measure to another one in terms of the measure transportation of Monge-Kantorovitch and clarify the relation between this concept and the Itô-solutions of the Monge-Ampère equation.     

The Einstein-Kahler metrics on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type

Let YI be the Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type. We give the generating function of the Einstein-Kahler metrics on YI, the holomorphic sectional curvature of the invariant Einstein-Kahler metrics on YI. The comparison theorem of complete Einstein-Kahler metric and Kobayashi metric on YI is provided for some cases. For the non-homogeneous domain YI, when K =mn+1/m+n,m>1, the explicit forms of the complete Einstein-Kahler metrics are obtained.     

Symmetry results for classical solutions of Monge-Ampère systems on bounded planar domains

A note on the contact angle boundary condition for Monge-Ampère equations

We give a simple proof of a result of Xinan Ma concerning a necessary condition for the solvability of the two-dimensional Monge-Ampère equation subject to the contact angle or capillarity boundary condition. Our technique works for more general Monge-Ampère equations in any dimension, and also extends to some other boundary conditions.

     

The complex Monge–Ampère equation with infinite boundary value

In this article we consider the complex Monge–Ampère equation with infinite boundary value in bounded pseudoconvex domains. We prove the existence of strictly plurisubharmonic solution to the problem in convex domains under suitable growth conditions. We also obtain, for general pseudoconvex domains, some nonexistence results which show that these growth conditions are nearly optimal.

A note on initial value problem for the generalized Tricomi equation in a mixed-type domain

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of initial value problem for n-dimensional gener-alized Tricomi equation in the mixed-type domain {(t,x):t∈[1,+∞),x∈Rn} with the initial data given on the line t=1 in Hadamard's sense. By taking partial Fourier transformation, we obtain the explicit expression of the solution in terms of two integral operators and further establish the global estimate of such a solution for a class of initial data and source term. Finally, we establish the global solution in time direction for a semilinear problem used the estimate.     

Very weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the two dimensional Monge-Ampère equation

In this paper, infinitely many $C^{1,\theta }(\theta <\frac{1}{5})$ very weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the two dimensional Monge-Ampère equation are obtained from inductively applying the Nash-Kuiper construction of subsolutions satisfying the boundary condition. The initial subsolutions are generated from the solutions of some Possion equations. The inductive construction is then attained by successively adding compactly supported deficit matrixes.     

Existence and estimates of solutions to a singular Dirichlet problem for the Monge–Ampère equation

Given a strictly convex, smooth, and bounded domain Ω in we establish the existence of a negative convex solution in with zero boundary value to the singular Monge–Ampère equation det(D²u)=p(x)g(−u). An associated Dirichlet problem will be employed to provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the singular boundary value problem. Estimates of solutions will also be given and regularity of solutions will be deduced from the estimates.     

The Cauchy problem for the homogeneous Monge–Ampère equation, II. Legendre transform

We continue our study of the Cauchy problem for the homogeneous (real and complex) Monge–Ampère equation (HRMA/HCMA). In the prequel (Y.A. Rubinstein and S. Zelditch [27]) a quantum mechanical approach for solving the HCMA was developed, and was shown to coincide with the well-known Legendre transform approach in the case of the HRMA. In this article—that uses tools of convex analysis and can be read independently—we prove that the candidate solution produced by these methods ceases to solve the HRMA, even in a weak sense, as soon as it ceases to be differentiable. At the same time, we show that it does solve the equation on its dense regular locus, and we derive an explicit a priori upper bound on its Monge–Ampère mass. The technique involves studying regularity of Legendre transforms of families of non-convex functions.     

A four-step method for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation

A new four-step exponentially-fitted method is developed in this paper. The expressions for the coefficients of the method are found such as to ensure the optimal approximation to the eigenvalue Schrödinger equation (i.e., equivalent to positive energy).     

The initial-boundary value problem for the “good” Boussinesq equation on the bounded domain

Analytic properties of conditional curvatures of convex hypersurfaces and the dirichlet problem for the Monge-Ampère equation

The existence and uniqueness of a surface with given geometric characteristics is one of the important topical problems of global differential geometry. By stating this problem in terms of analysis, we arrive at second-order elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. In the present paper we consider generalized solutions of the Monge-Ampère equation ||z _ij || = ϕ(x, z, p) in Λ ⁿ , wherez = z(x ₁,...,z _n ) is a convex function,p = (p ₁,...,P _n) = (∂z/∂x ₁,...,ϖz/ϖx _n), andz _ij =ϖ ² z/ϖx _i ϖx _j. We consider the Cayley-Klein model of the space Λ ⁿ and use a method based on fixed point principle for Banach spaces.

Vector spaces of delta-plurisubharmonic functions and extensions of the complex Monge–Ampère operator

In this paper we shall consider two types of vector ordering on the vector space of differences of negative plurisubharmonic functions, and the problem whether it is possible to construct supremum and infimum. Then we consider two different approaches to define the complex Monge–Ampère operator on these vector spaces, and we solve some Dirichlet problems. We end this paper by stating and discussing some open problems.
