Enclosed convex hypersurfaces with maximal affine area (Q818573)

On a convex hypersurface \(M\subset{\mathbb R}^{n+1}\) the affine surface area can be defined by \(A(M)=\int_M K^{1/{(n+2)}}\), where \(K\) is the Euclidean Gauss curvature. This definition, which requires \(M\) to be \(C^2\) smooth, was extended to nonsmooth convex hypersurfaces in ``The affine Plateau problem'' by \textit{N. S. Trudinger, X.-J.Wang} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 18, 253--289 (2005; Zbl 1229.53049)]. The main result of the present paper is: Let \(U\) be a bounded open set in \({\mathbb R}^{3}\). Then any convex surface in \(U\) with maximal affine surface area is \(C^{1,\alpha}\) smooth for some \(\alpha \in(0,1)\). If \(U\) is a uniformly convex domain, the the convex surface is \(C^{1,1}\) smooth.
