The Neumann Problem for Special Lagrangian Equations with Critical Phase

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Neumann problem for special Lagrangian equations with critical phase. The global gradient and Hessian estimates are obtained. Using the method of continuity, we prove the existence of solutions to this problem.

Keywords
