We prove estimates, similar in form to the classical Aleksandrov estimates, for a Monge-Ampere type operator on the Heisenberg group. A notion of normal mapping does not seem to be available in this context and the method of proof uses…
We study the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator on a B-regular domain $\Omega$, allowing boundary data that is singular or unbounded. We introduce the concept of pluri-quasibounded functions on $\Omega$ and $\partial…

We develop some pluripotential theoretic techniques for the transversally holomorphic foliation of a Sasakian manifold. We prove the convexity of the K-energy along weak geodesics for Sasakian manifolds. This implies that the K-energy is…
It is shown that the general solution of a homogeneous Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation in $n$-dimensional space is closely connected with the exactly (but only implicitly) integrable system \frac {\partial \xi_{j}}{\partial x_0}+\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $n$ and $\omega$ a K\"ahler form on $X$. We consider the complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation $(dd^c u+\omega)^n=\mu$, where $\mu$ is a given positive measure on $X$ of suitable mass and $u$ is…
We show that on any weakly pseudoconvex $B$-regular domain, the classical Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge--Amp\`ere equation with $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-smooth data does not in general admit $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$-smooth solutions. This…

In this manuscript, we investigate a priori estimates for the solution to the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for a broad class of concave elliptic Hessian operators of the form \[ F(D^2u)=-\Lambda u \quad \textrm{in} \, \Omega, \qquad u=0…
The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space,…
In this note, as a particular case of a more general result, we obtain the following theorem: Let $\Omega\subseteq {\bf R}^n$ be a non-empty bounded open set and let $f:\overline {\Omega}\to {\bf R}^n$ be a continuous function which is…
We propose a numerical method to solve the Monge-Ampere equation which admits a classical convex solution. The Monge-Ampere equation is reformulated into an equivalent first-order system. We adopt a novel reconstructed discontinuous…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is anemconvex function iff it satisfies $$ f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1. $$ A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made. The principal results are a sharp universal upper…
