An Adaptive Method for the Numerical Solution of a 2D Monge-Ampère Equation

Summary

We consider a 2D parabolic Monge-Ampère equation, and aim at tracking stationary solutions. A time-stepping algorithm is advocated, together with a finite element space approximation. A mesh adaptation technique is considered to track the singularities of the solutions. The approximate error indicator is based on a linearization of the Monge-Ampère operator. Numerical experiments show the numerical efficiency of the approach on several examples.
