Abstract:

In the paper we investigate the regularity of solutions $z(x, y) \in {C^{1,1}}(\Omega )$, resp. ${C^{1,1}}(\overline \Omega )$ of elliptic Monge-Ampére equations of the form \[ Ar + 2Bs + Ct + (rt - {s^2}) = E.\] It is shown that $z(x, y) \in {C^{2,\alpha }}(\Omega )$, resp. ${C^{2,\alpha }}(\overline \Omega )$, with corresponding a priori estimates, if $A, B, C, E \in {C^\alpha }(\Omega \times {{\mathbf {R}}^3})$. The results are deduced via the Campanato technique for equations of variational structure invoking a Legendre-like transformation.
