Abstract: In this paper we apply various first and second derivative estimates and barrier constructions from our treatment of oblique boundary value problems for augmented Hessian equations, to the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions. As a result we extend our previous results on the Monge-Ampere and k-Hessian cases to general classes of augmented Hessian equations in Euclidean space


The very interesting paper under review deals with the Dirichlet problem for general augmented Hessian equations of the form \[ F\big[D^2u-A(x,u,Du)\big]=B(x,u,Du) \] over a bounded and smooth domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n,\) where the scalar function \(F\) is defined on an open cone \(\Gamma\) in the linear space \(\mathbb{S}^n\) of the \(n\times n\) real symmetric matrices, \(A\colon\ \Omega\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{S}^n\) is a symmetric matrix function and \(B\colon\ \Omega\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}\) is a scalar function. The cone \(\Gamma\) is assumed to be convex with vertex at \(0\) and \(F\in C^2(\Gamma)\) satisfies the following basic conditions: F1: \(F\) is strictly increasing in \(\Gamma,\) that is, \[ \left\{\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial r_{ij}}\right\}>0\quad \text{in}\ \Gamma; \] F2: \(F\) is concave in \(\Gamma,\) \[ \sum_{i,j,k,l=1}^n \dfrac{\partial^2 F}{\partial r_{ij}\partial r_{kl}}\eta_{ij}\eta_{kl}\leq 0\quad \text{in}\ \Gamma \] for all symmetric matrices \(\{\eta_{ij}\}\in\mathbb{S}^n;\) F3: \(F(\Gamma)=(a_0,\infty)\) for a constant \(a_0\geq -\infty\) with \[ \sup_{r_0\in\partial\Gamma} \limsup_{r\to r_0} F(r)\leq a_0. \] Based on the techniques developed by the authors in [Bull. Math. Sci., 8, 353--411 (2018; Zbl 1411.35116); Nonlinear Anal., 154, 148--173 (2017; Zbl 1360.35058); Commun. Partial Differ. Equ., 44, 8, 708--748 (2019; Zbl 1427.35070)], first and second-order derivatives estimates are derived for the solutions to the Dirichlet problem considered. As a result, classical solvability is proved as well.
