Abstract

In this paper, we prove interior second derivative estimates of Pogorelov type for a general form of Monge-Ampere equation which includes the optimal transportation equation. The estimate extends that in a previous work with Xu-Jia Wang and assumes only that the matrix function in the equation is regular with respect to the gradient variables, that is it satisfies a weak form of the condition introduced previously by Ma,Trudinger and Wang for regularity of optimal transport mappings. We also indicate briefly an application to optimal transportation.

Highlights

  • There has been considerable research activity in recent years devoted to fully nonlinear, elliptic second order partial differential equations of the form [13],F [u] := F {D2u − A(·, Du)} = B(·, u, Du), (1)in domains Ω in Euclidean n-space, Rn, as well as their extensions to Riemannian manifolds
