Review text

The family of Monge-Ampère equations are used to model problems in anidolic optics. The semi-discrete methods are employed to solve these nonlinear second-order partial differential equations. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated by a couple of near-field and far-field problems in anidolic optics.
