Abstract

We study radial viscosity solutions to the equation  Du q2ΔpNu=f( x )in BRRN, -\ |Du\ |^{q-2}\Delta_{p}^{N}u=f(\ |x\ |)\quad\text{in }B_{R}\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}, where fC[0,R)f\in C[0,R), p,q(1,)p,q\in(1,\infty) and N2N\geq2. Our main result is that u(x)=v( x )u(x)=v(\ |x\ |) is a bounded viscosity supersolution if and only if vv is a bounded weak supersolution to κΔqdv=f-\kappa\Delta_{q}^{d}v=f in (0,R)(0,R), where κ>0\kappa>0 and Δqd\Delta_{q}^{d} is heuristically speaking the radial qq-Laplacian in a fictitious dimension dd. As a corollary we obtain the uniqueness of radial viscosity solutions. However, the full uniqueness of solutions remains an open problem.
