Abstract:
In this paper, we consider the model case when the compact set K is contained in the hyperboloid , which is a subset of symmetric matrices. The hyperboloid is generated by two families of rank-one lines and related to the hyperbolic Monge-Ampere equation . For some compact subsets K containing rank-one connection, we show the rigidity property of K by imposing proper topology for the convergence of approximate solutions and affine boundary conditions.
