A Nonlinear Mean Value Property for Monge-Amp\`ere

Analysis of PDEs 2020-06-18 v1

Abstract

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in whether a mean value property, known to characterize harmonic functions, can be extended in some weak form to solutions of nonlinear equations. This question has been partially motivated by the surprising connection between Random Tug-of-War games and the normalized pp-Laplacian discovered some years ago, where a nonlinear asymptotic mean value property for solutions of a PDE is related to a dynamic programming principle for an appropriate game. Currently, asymptotic nonlinear mean value formulas are rare in the literature and our goal is to show that an asymptotic nonlinear mean value formula holds for the classical Monge-Amp\`ere equation.
