Monge-ampère Equations and Surfaces with Negative Gaussian Curvature
نویسندگان
چکیده
In [24], we studied the singularities of solutions of Monge-Ampère equations of hyperbolic type. Then we saw that the singularities of solutions do not coincide with the singularities of solution surfaces. In this note we first study the singularities of solution surfaces. Next, as the applications, we consider the singularities of surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. Our problems are as follows: 1) What kinds of singularities may appear?, and 2) How can we extend the surfaces beyond the singularities?

Local Solvability of Degenerate Monge-ampère Equations and Applications to Geometry
We consider two natural problems arising in geometry which are equivalent to the local solvability of specific equations of Monge-Ampère type. These are: the problem of locally prescribed Gaussian curvature for surfaces in R3, and the local isometric embedding problem for two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We prove a general local existence result for a large class of degenerate Monge-Ampère...
متن کاملAsymptotic Directions, Monge–Ampère Equations and the Geometry of Diffeomorphism Groups
In this note we obtain the characterization for asymptotic directions on various subgroups of the diffeomorphism group. We give a simple proof of non-existence of such directions for area-preserving diffeomorphisms of closed surfaces of non-zero curvature. Finally, we exhibit the common origin of the Monge–Ampère equations in 2D fluid dynamics and mass transport. Mathematics Subject Classificat...

We prove the existence of C∞ local solutions to a class of mixed type Monge– Ampère equations in the plane.More precisely, the equation changes type tofinite order across two smooth curves intersecting transversely at a point. Existence of C∞ global solutions to a corresponding class of linear mixed type equations is also established. These results are motivated by andmay be applied to the prob...
متن کاملComparison principles for subelliptic equations of Monge-Ampère type
We present two comparison principles for viscosity suband supersolutions of Monge-Ampère-type equations associated to a family of vector fields. In particular, we obtain the uniqueness of a viscosity solution to the Dirichlet problem for the equation of prescribed horizontal Gauss curvature in a Carnot group.
