Introduction

The Monge–Ampère equation stands as a cornerstone in the realm of differential geometry, originating from the works of Gaspard Monge and André-Marie Ampère in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, respectively. Initially conceived as a geometric problem, this equation has evolved to become a fundamental concept with far-reaching implications in mathematics and its applications. At its core, the Monge–Ampère equation describes the preservation of volume under a nonlinear transformation, making it a fundamental tool in understanding various phenomena, ranging from optimal transportation to image processing. The Monge–Ampère equation arises in the context of optimal transportation theory, where it encapsulates the notion of minimizing a certain cost functional subject to constraints on mass conservation. Formally, given two probability measures on Euclidean spaces, the Monge–Ampère equation seeks a map that transports one measure to the other while minimizing the transportation cost. Mathematically, the equation can be expressed as a nonlinear partial differential equation involving the determinant of the Hessian of an unknown function [1].

Literature Review

Systems arising from Monge–Ampère equations

While the Monge–Ampère equation provides a powerful framework for studying optimal transportation problems, many real-world scenarios necessitate considering more complex systems. These systems often arise from variations or extensions of the classical Monge–Ampère equation to incorporate additional constraints or features. For instance, in the context of image processing, one may encounter systems involving multiple images or additional regularization terms. The solvability criterion for systems arising from Monge–Ampère equations constitutes a fundamental aspect of their mathematical analysis. This criterion delineates conditions under which a system admits a unique solution, thereby providing crucial insights into the existence and stability of solutions. The theoretical foundations of this criterion often draw upon concepts from functional analysis, convex optimization and partial differential equations [2].

Conclusion

In conclusion, the solvability criterion for systems arising from Monge– Ampère equations stands as a crucial pillar in the mathematical analysis of these equations. By delineating conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, this criterion facilitates a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematical structures and enables the development of effective computational methods. As researchers continue to explore the applications of Monge–Ampère equations in various fields, the solvability criterion remains indispensable for advancing both theoretical understanding and practical implementations.
