Variational solutions to Hessian equations

Kai-Seng Chou, Xu-Jia Wang

Abstract: In this paper we deal with the functionals related to Hessian equations. By studying the asymptotical behaviour of solutions to a gradient flow of the functionals we will derive the existence of critical points of the functionals which corresponds to solutions of the Hessian equations. To do so we will use the Mountain Pass Lemma and establish the interior a priori estimate for solutions of the Hessian equations. The results parallel those for semilinear elliptic equtaions and Monge-Ampère equations.
