Abstract

In this paper we shall prove the existence, uniqueness and global Hölder continuity for the Dirichlet problem of a class of Monge–Ampère type equations which may be degenerate and singular on the boundary of convex domains. We will establish a relation of the Hölder exponent for the solutions with the convexity for the domains.

Keywords

existence, uniqueness, global regularity, degenerate, singular, Monge–Ampère equation
