We study the solvability of singular Abreu equations which arise in the approximation of convex functionals subject to a convexity constraint. Previous works established the solvability of their second boundary value problems either in two dimensions, or in higher dimensions under either a smallness condition or a radial symmetry condition. Here, we solve the higher-dimensional case by transforming singular Abreu equations into linearized Monge–Ampère equations with drifts. We establish global Hölder estimates for linearized Monge–Ampère equations with drifts under suitable hypotheses, and then apply them to prove the regularity and solvability of the second boundary value problem for singular Abreu equations in higher dimensions. Many cases with general right-hand side are also discussed.more » « less

By constructing explicit supersolutions, we obtain the optimal global Hölder regularity for several singular Monge-Ampère equations on general bounded open convex domains including those related to complete affine hyperbolic spheres, and proper affine hyperspheres. Our analysis reveals that certain singular-looking equations, such as \begin{document}$$ \det D^2 u = |u|^{-n-2-k} (x\cdot Du -u)^{-k} $$\end{document} with zero boundary data, have unexpected degenerate nature.more » « less
