Abstract
Li and Xu (Results Math 56:141–164, 2009) proved that any entire strictly convex \({C^\infty}\)-solution of the Monge–Ampère equation
where \({d_0, d_1,\ldots,d_n}\) are constants, must be a quadratic polynomial. Their result extends a well-known theorem of Jörgens–Calabi–Pogorelov. In our paper we will give a relatively simple proof for this extension in any dimension.
