Classification of Monge-Ampère equations with two variables

Boris Kruglikov (1999)

Banach Center Publications

This paper deals with the classification of hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equations on a two-dimensional manifold. We solve the local equivalence problem with respect to the contact transformation group assuming that the equation is of general position nondegenerate type. As an application we formulate a new method of finding symmetries. This together with previous author's results allows to state the solution of the classical S. Lie equivalence problem for the Monge-Ampère equations.

Contact geometry of multidimensional Monge-Ampère equations: characteristics, intermediate integrals and solutions

Dmitri V. Alekseevsky, Ricardo Alonso-Blanco, Gianni Manno, Fabrizio Pugliese (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the geometry of multidimensional scalar 2 n d order PDEs (i.e. PDEs with n independent variables), viewed as hypersurfaces in the Lagrangian Grassmann bundle M ( 1 ) over a ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional contact manifold ( M , 𝒞 ) . We develop the theory of characteristics of in terms of contact geometry and of the geometry of Lagrangian Grassmannian and study their relationship with intermediate integrals of . After specializing such results to general Monge-Ampère equations (MAEs), we focus our attention to MAEs of...

Convex integration of non-linear systems of partial differential equations

David Spring (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Geometrical techniques are employed to prove a global existence theorem for C r -solutions to underdetermined systems of non-linear r t h order partial differential equations, r { 1 , 2 , 3 , ... } , which satisfy certain convexity conditions. The solutions are not unique, but satisfy given approximations on lower order derivatives. The main result, which includes the relative case generalizes the work of M. Gromov on non-linear first order systems.
