Analysis of PDEs 2019-01-10 v1

Abstract

We study the relationship of viscosity and weak solutions to the equation tuΔpu=f(Du) \smash{\partial_{t}u-\Delta_{p}u=f(Du)} where p>1p>1 and fC(RN)f\in C(\mathbb{R}^{N}) satisfies suitable assumptions. Our main result is that bounded viscosity supersolutions coincide with bounded lower semicontinuous weak supersolutions. Moreover, we prove the lower semicontinuity of weak supersolutions when p2p\geq2.
