On the Liouville property for fully nonlinear equations with superlinear first-order terms

Abstract

We consider in this note one-side Liouville properties for viscosity solutions of various fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic inequalities, whose prototype is F(x,D2u)Hi(x,u,Du)F(x,D^2u)\geq H_i(x,u,Du) in RN\mathbb{R}^N, where HiH_i has superlinear growth in the gradient variable. After a brief survey on the existing literature, we discuss the validity or the failure of the Liouville property in the model cases H1(u,Du)=uq+DuγH_1(u,Du)=u^q+|Du|^\gamma, H2(u,Du)=uqDuγH_2(u,Du)=u^q|Du|^\gamma and H3(x,u,Du)=±uqDuγb(x)DuH_3(x,u,Du)=\pm u^q|Du|^\gamma-b(x)\cdot Du, where q0q\geq0, γ>1\gamma>1 and bb is a suitable velocity field. Several counterexamples and open problems are thoroughly discussed.
