On the Dirichlet problem for Monge-Ampère type equations (Q2445466)

The authors prove second derivative estimates together with classical solvability for the Dirichlet problem of certain Monge-Ampère-type equations under sharp hypotheses \[ \text{det}\{D^2u-A(x,Du) \}=B(x,Du), \;\;x\in \Omega, \quad u=\varphi(x), \;\;x\in\partial\Omega. \] The matrix function in the augmented Hessian is regular in the sense used by \textit{N. S. Trudinger} and \textit{X.-J. Wang} in [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci. (5) 8, No. 1, 143--174 (2009; Zbl 1182.35134)] in their study of global regularity in optimal transportations as well as the existence of a smooth subsolution. The latter hypothesis replaces a barrier condition also used in their work. The applications to optimal transportation and prescribed Jacobian equations are also indicated.
