In this talk, I will discuss finite element methods for the fully nonlinear Monge-Ampere equation. The main feature of our discretizations is that their linearizations are coercive over the finite element space. I will describe a simple procedure to construct such schemes and briefly discuss the difficulties in the convergence analysis. Finally, numerical examples for a series of benchmark problems will be presented.
