A singular Monge-Ampère equation on unbounded domains

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for a singular Monge-Ampere type equation on unbounded domains. For a few special kinds of unbounded convex domains,we find the explicit formulas of the solutions to the problem. For general unbounded convex domain $\Om$, we prove the existence for solutions to the problem in the space$C^{\infty}(\Om)\cap~C~(\overline{\Om})$. We also obtain the local $C^{\frac{1}{2}}$-estimate up to the $\partial~\Omega$ and the estimate for the lower bound of the solutions.
