Title: Dirichlet problem for degenerate elliptic complex Monge-Ampere equation Author: Saoussen Kallel-Jallouli (Campus Univ., Tunis, Tunisie) Abstract: We consider the Dirichlet problem $$ \det \big({\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial z_i\partial \overline{z_j}}} \big)=g(z,u)\quad\mbox{in }\Omega\,, \quad u\big|_{ \partial \Omega }=\varphi\,, $$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded open set of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ with regular boundary, $g$ and $\varphi$ are sufficiently smooth functions, and $g$ is non-negative. We prove that, under additional hypotheses on $g$ and $\varphi $, if $|\det \varphi _{i\overline{j}}-g|_{C^{s_{\ast}}}$ is sufficiently small the problem has a plurisubharmonic solution.
