Abstract: We present an iterative method based on repeatedly inverting the Monge-Amp`ere operator with Dirichlet boundary condition and prescribed right-hand side on a bounded, convex domain OmegasubsetmathbbRn. We prove that the iterates uk generated by this method converge as koinfty to a solution of the Monge-Amp`ere eigenvalue problem �egin{cases} ext{det} D^2u = lambda_{MA} (-u)^n & quad ext{in } Omega,\ u = 0 & quad ext{on } partial Omega. end{cases} Since the solutions of this problem are unique up to a positive multiplicative constant, the normalized iterates hatuk:=fracuk||uk||Linfty(Omega) converge to the eigenfunction of unit height. In addition, we show that limlimitskoinftyR(uk)=limlimitskoinftyR(hatuk)=lambdaMA, where the Rayleigh quotient R(u) is defined as R(u) := frac{int_{Omega} (-u) ext{det} D^2u}{int_{Omega} (-u)^{n+1}}. Our method converges for a wide class of initial choices u0 that can be constructed explicitly, and does not rely on prior knowledge of the Monge-Amp`ere eigenvalue lambdaMA.
