A Dirichlet principle for the complex Monge--Ampère operator (Q1426892)

The paper deals with a Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Ampère equation [see, e.g., \textit{E. Bedford} and \textit{B. A. Taylor}, Acta Math. 149, 1--40 (1982; Zbl 0547.32012)] . The existence and uniqueness results are stated in terms of the minimum of an energy functional. An energy estimate in \textit{U. Cegrell} and \textit{L. Persson} [Ann. Pol. Math. 67. No. 1. 95--102 (1997; Zbl 0892.32012)] is generalized, and a comparison is made with certain corresponding results in classical potential theory.
