Abstract:
We make two relaxations of the Oliker-Prussner method for the Dirichlet problem for
the Monge-Ampere equation. First we relax the convexity requirement and consider
mesh functions which are only discrete convex. The second relaxation consists in
using a finite stencil. The discrete nonlinear equations are solved with a damped
Newton's method. We give two proofs of convergence of the resulting scheme for
right-hand side a density, on domains which are convex and not necessarily strictly
convex, under the assumption that the boundary data has a continuous convex extension.
The first proof is based on the notion of Aleksandrov solution while the second uses
viscosity solutions.
