In a recent paper [7], we were led to consider a distance over a bounded open convex domain. It turns out to be the so-called Thompson metric, which is equivalent to the Hilbert metric. It plays a key role in the analysis of existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of elliptic boundary-value problems that are singular at the boundary.

Gradient estimate in terms of a Hilbert-like distance, for minimal surfaces and Chaplygin gas
ABSTRACT We consider a quasilinear elliptic boundary value-problem with homogenenous Dirichlet condition. The data are a convex planar domain. The gradient estimate is needed to ensure the uniform…

It is a basic problem in the subject of minimal varieties to determine the class of complete minimal and area-minimizing varieties M k in a given Riemannian manifold _~n. Besides being of their own…

Gauge-reversing maps on cones, and Hilbert and Thompson isometries
We show that a cone admits a gauge-reversing map if and only if it is a symmetric cone. We use this to prove that every isometry of a Hilbert geometry is a collineation unless the Hilbert geometry is…
Elliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order
We study in this chapter a class of partial differential equations that generalize and are to a large extent represented by Laplace’s equation. These are the elliptic partial differential equations…
Multidimensional Shock Interaction for a Chaplygin Gas
A Chaplygin gas is an inviscid, compressible fluid in which the acoustic fields are linearly degenerate. We analyze the multidimensional shocks in such a fluid, which turn out to be sonic. Two shocks…
