Classical solvability in dimension two of the second boundary-value problem associated with the Monge-Ampère operator (Q1182845)

This work proves that two bounded strictly convex domains in \(\mathbb{R}^ 2\) can be mapped on one another by the gradient of a strictly convex function with Jacobian prescribed up to a constant, using the method of continuity. All data are smooth; the restriction \(n=2\) is used to get second-order boundary estimates. Note that a different approach to existence for this type of problem is via the factorization results of \textit{Y. Brenier} [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 44, No. 4, 375-417 (1991; Zbl 0738.46011)] as recently stressed by Caffarelli.
