The problem of imaging for a nearly-perfect lens, namely, a slab of a left-handed material with refractive index n = -(1-sigma)^1/2 is solved analytically for |sigma| << 1. The electromagnetic field behavior is determined largely by…

Alexandrov's estimate states that if $\Omega$ is a bounded open convex domain in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $u:\bar \Omega\to {\mathbb R}$ is a convex solution of the Monge-Ampere equation $\det D^2 u = f$ that vanishes on $\partial \Omega$, then…

We construct convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are smooth solutions to the Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation $\det D^2u = 1$ away from compact one-dimensional singular sets, which can be Y-shaped or form the edges of a…
