We consider the growth of the convex viscosity solution of the Monge–Ampère equation
$\det D^2u=1$
outside a bounded domain of the upper half space. We show that if u is a convex quadratic polynomial on the boundary
$\{x_n=0\}$
and there exists some
$\varepsilon>0$
such that
$u=O(|x|^{3-\varepsilon })$
at infinity, then
$u=O(|x|^2)$
at infinity. As an application, we improve the asymptotic result at infinity for viscosity solutions of Monge–Ampère equations in half spaces of Jia, Li and Li [‘Asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions of Monge–Ampère equations in half spaces’, J. Differential Equations269(1) (2020), 326–348].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
