Abstract

The original proof of Dacorogna-Moser theorem on the prescribed Jacobian PDE, detφ=f\text{det}\,\nabla\varphi=f, can be modified in order to obtain control of support of the solutions from that of the initial data, while keeping optimal regularity. Briefly, under the usual conditions, a solution diffeomorphism φ\varphi satisfying supp(f1)Ωsupp(φid)Ω \text{supp}(f-1)\subset\varOmega\Longrightarrow\text{supp}(\varphi-\text{id})\subset\varOmega can be found and φ\varphi is still of class Cr+1,αC^{r+1,\alpha} if ff is Cr,αC^{r,\alpha}, the domain of ff being a bounded connected open Cr+2,αC^{r+2,\alpha} set ΩRn\varOmega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}.

Comments

there is an Addendum - arXiv:1705.01416, generalizing the result to the case of the pullback between any two (nondegenerate) prescribed volume forms that coincide near the boundary and have the same total volume over a domain
