Abstract
where Ω ⊂ R is some open set, u : Ω → R is a convex function, and the function f : Ω× R× R → R is given. In other words, the Monge-Ampère equation prescribes the product of the eigenvalues of the Hessian of u, in contrast with the “model” elliptic equation ∆u = f which prescribes their sum. As we shall explain later, the convexity of the solution u is a necessary condition to make the equation degenerate elliptic, and therefore to hope for regularity results. The goal of this note is to give first a general overview of the classical theory, and then discuss some recent important developments on this beautiful topic. For our presentation of the classical theory, we follow the survey paper [25].
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
