Abstract

In this article we present a proof of existence of a weak solution for the semigeostrophic system of equations, formulated as an active scalar transport equation with Monge-Ampère coupling, with initial data in . This is an extension of a 1998 result due to Benamou and Brenier, who proved existence with initial data in .
