We give interior estimates for first derivatives of solutions to a type of complex Monge-Ampère equations in convex domains. We also show global estimates for first derivatives of solutions in arbitrary domains. These global estimates are then used to show interior regularity of solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equations in hyperconvex domains having a bounded exhaustion function which is globally Lipschitz. Finally we give examples of domains which have such an exhaustion function and domains which do not.

We study minimizers of the functionalwhere $B_{1}^{{\mathchoice {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle +$}} {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle +$}} {\raise .1ex\hbox {$\scriptscriptstyle +$}} {\scriptscriptstyle +}}}=\{x\in B_{1}: x_{1}>0\}$ ,$u$=0 on {$x$∈$B$_{1}:$x$_{1}=0}, $\lambda^{{\mathchoice {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle \pm $}} {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle \pm $}} {\raise .1ex\hbox {$\scriptscriptstyle \pm $}} {\scriptscriptstyle \pm }}}$ are two positive constants and 0<$p$<1. In two dimensions, we prove that the free boundary is a uniform$C$^{1}graph up to the flat part of the fixed boundary and also that two-phase points cannot occur on this part of the fixed boundary. Here, the free boundary refers to the union of the boundaries of the sets {$x$:±$u$($x$)>0}.

This paper is concerned with an interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) method based on a flexible type of non-polynomial local approximation space for the Helmholtz equation with varying wavenumber. The local approximation space consists of multiple polynomial-modulated phase functions which can be chosen according to the phase information of the solution. We obtain some {approximation} properties for this space and \textit{a prior} $L^2$ error estimates for the \textit{h}-convergence of the IPDG method using duality argument. We also provide ample numerical examples to show that, building phase information into the local spaces often gives more accurate results comparing to using the standard polynomial spaces.
