Abstract

This paper studies the numerical approximation of solution of the Dirichlet problem for the fully nonlinear Monge-Ampere equation. In this approach, we take the advantage of reformulation the Monge-Ampere problem as an optimization problem, to which we associate a well defined functional whose minimum provides us with the solution to the Monge-Ampere problem after resolving a Poisson problem by the finite element Galerkin method. We present some numerical examples, for which a good approximation is obtained in 68 iterations.
