This paper is concerned with developing and analyzing convergent semi-Lagrangian methods for the fully nonlinear elliptic Monge-Amp\`ere equation on general triangular grids. This is done by establishing an equivalent (in the viscosity…
The fractional nonlocal linearized Monge--Amp\`ere equation is introduced. A Harnack inequality for nonnegative solutions to the Poisson problem on Monge--Amp\`ere sections is proved.
We demonstrate that $C^{2,\alpha}$ estimates for the Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation depend in a highly nonlinear way both on the $C^{\alpha}$ norm of the right-hand side and $1/\alpha$. First, we show that if a solution is strictly convex, then…
We show existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation on compact almost complex manifolds with non-integrable almost complex structure.
In this work, we study nonlocal differential equations with particular focus on those with reflection in their argument and piecewise constant dependence. The approach entails deriving the explicit expression of the solution to the linear…
We propose an algorithm to detect approximate reflection symmetry present in a set of volumetrically distributed points belonging to $\mathbb{R}^d$ containing a distorted reflection symmetry pattern. We pose the problem of detecting…
Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form, $u_{xx}u_{yy}-u_{xy}^2=F(u,u_x,u_y)$ arise in many areas of fluid and solid mechanics. Here it is shown that in the special case $F=u_y^4f(u, u_x/u_y)$, where $f$ denotes an arbitrary function, the…
We introduce a model to design reflectors that take into account the inverse square law for radiation. We prove existence of solutions, both in the near and far field cases, when the input and output energies are prescribed.
Time-varying non-convex continuous-valued non-linear constrained optimization is a fundamental problem. We study conditions wherein a momentum-like regularising term allow for the tracking of local optima by considering an ordinary…
In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the Monge-Amp\'ere equation: find a non-negative weakly convex classical solution $f$ satisfying {equation*} {cases} \det D^2 f=f^p \quad &\text{in $\Omega$} f=\vp…
In this paper we study the near-field refractor problem with point source at the origin and prescribed target on the given receiver surface $\Sigma$. This nonvariational problem can be studied in the framework of prescribed Jacobian…
We consider the numerical solution of the optimal transport problem between densities that are supported on sets of unequal dimension. Recent work by McCann and Pass reformulates this problem into a non-local Monge-Amp\`ere type equation.…
We predict a non-thermal magneto-optical effect for magnetic insulators subject to intense light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Using a classical approach to second harmonic generation in non-linear media with specific symmetry…
It is proved a theorem providing necessary and sufficient conditions enabling one to map a nonlinear system of first order partial differential equations, polynomial in the derivatives, to an equivalent autonomous first order system…
This paper develops a fully discrete modified characteristic finite element method for a coupled system consisting of the fully nonlinear Monge-Amp\'ere equation and a transport equation. The system is the Eulerian formulation in the dual…
The convexity of solutions to boundary value problems for fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations (such as real or complex $k$-Hessian equations) is a challenging topic. In this paper, we establish the power convexity of…
In this article, we present a problem of nonlinear constraint optimization with equality and inequality constraints. Objective functions are defined to be nonlinear and optimizers may have a lower and upper bound. We solve the optimization…
The problem of reconstructing an object from the measurements of the light it scatters is common in numerous imaging applications. While the most popular formulations of the problem are based on linearizing the object-light relationship,…
The elliptic Monge-Amp\`ere equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation which has been the focus of increasing attention from the scientific computing community. Fast three dimensional solvers are needed, for example in…
In this paper, we consider the problem of piecewise affine abstraction of nonlinear systems, i.e., the overapproximation of its nonlinear dynamics by a pair of piecewise affine functions that "includes" the dynamical characteristics of the…
