Abstract
The main result of this article is the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Dirichlet problem for quaternionic Monge-Ampère equations in quaternionic strictly pseudoconvex bounded domains in ℍn. We continue the study of the theory of plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables started by the author at [2].
