A Comparison Principle for Parabolic Complex Monge–Ampère Equations

The Journal of Geometric Analysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Cauchy–Dirichlet problem for parabolic complex Monge–Ampère equations on strongly pseudoconvex domains using the viscosity method. We prove a comparison principle for parabolic complex Monge–Ampère equations and use it to study the existence and uniqueness of viscosity solution in certain cases where the sets \(\{z\in \Omega : f(t, z)=0 \}\) may be pairwise disjoint.
