Spline element method for the Monge-Ampere equation

We analyze the convergence of an iterative method for solving the nonlinear system resulting from a natural discretization of the Monge-Ampère equation with $C^1$ conforming approximations. We make the assumption, supported by numerical experiments for the two dimensional problem, that the discrete problem has a convex solution. The method we analyze is the discrete version of Newton's method in the vanishing moment methodology. Numerical experiments are given in the framework of the spline element method.
