Convergence of a Hybrid Scheme for the Elliptic Monge-ampère Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove the convergence of a hybrid discretization to the viscosity solution of the elliptic Monge-Ampère equation. The hybrid discretization uses a standard finite difference discretization in parts of the computational domain where the solution is expected to be smooth and a monotone scheme elsewhere. A motivation for the hybrid discretization is the lack of an appropriate Newton solver for the standard finite difference discretization on the whole domain.

Certain fully nonlinear elliptic Partial Differential Equations can be written as functions of the eigenvalues of the Hessian.
