Abstract
In this paper, we study the regularity of the solution for the obstacle problem associated with the linearized Monge-Amp\`ere operator: \begin{align*} \begin{cases} &u\geq\varphi \text{\quad in } \Omega &L_{ w}u=\tr( W D^{2}u)\leq 0 \text{\quad in } \Omega &L_{ w}u= 0 \text{\quad in } \{u>\varphi\} &u=0 \text{\quad on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{align*} where is the matrix of cofactor of , satisfies and on , is the obstacle with at least smoothness, is an open bounded convex domain. We show the existence and uniqueness of a viscosity solution by using Perron's method and the comparison principle. Our primary result is to prove that the solution exhibits local regularity for any , provided that it is a strong solution in .
