Interior gradient estimates for solutions to the linearized Monge-Ampère equation

Abstract: Let

O m e g a s u b s e t R^{n}

be a bounded convex domain and

be a convex function such that

p h i

is sufficiently smooth on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

and the Monge--Amp`ere measure

d e t D^{2} p h i

is bounded away from zero and infinity in

O m e g a

. The corresponding linearized Monge--Amp`ere equation is [ race(Phi D^2 u) =f, ] where

P h i := d e t D^{2} p h i (D^{2} p h i)^{- 1}

is the matrix of cofactors of

D^{2} p h i

. We prove a conjecture in cite{GT} about the relationship between

L^{p}

estimates for

D^{2} u

and the closeness between

d e t D^{2} p h i

and one. As a consequence, we obtain interior

W^{2, p}

estimates for solutions to such equation whenever the measure

d e t D^{2} p h i

is given by a continuous density and the function

f

belongs to

L^{q} (O m e g a)

for some

q > m a x p, n

.
