This work is concerned with the probabilistic representation of solutions to the $p$-Laplace evolution equation $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}={\rm div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)$ in $(0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^d$, $u(0,x)=u_0(x),$…

We prove interior H\"older estimates for the spatial gradient of viscosity solutions to the parabolic homogeneous $p$-Laplacian equation \[ u_t=|\nabla u|^{2-p} \mbox{ div} (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u), \] where $1<p<\infty$. This equation…

We study a version of the stochastic "tug-of-war" game, played on graphs and smooth domains, with the empty set of terminal states. We prove that, when the running payoff function is shifted by an appropriate constant, the values of the…

We present a modified version of the two-player "tug-of-war" game introduced by Peres, Schramm, Sheffield, and Wilson. This new tug-of-war game is identical to the original except near the boundary of the domain $\partial \Omega$, but its…

We consider the (viscosity) solution $u^\varepsilon$ of the elliptic equation $\varepsilon^2\Delta_p^G u= u$ in a domain (not necessarily bounded), satisfying $u=1$ on its boundary. Here, $\Delta_p^G$ is the {\it game-theoretic or…

We propose a new version of the tug-of-war game and a corresponding dynamic programming principle related to the $p$-Laplacian with $1<p<2$. For this version, the asymptotic H\"older continuity of solutions can be directly derived from…

In this paper we find viscosity solutions to an elliptic system governed by two different operators (the Laplacian and the infinity Laplacian) using a probabilistic approach. We analyze a game that combines the Tug-of-War with Random Walks…

We study the double-obstacle problem for the p-Laplace operator, p 2 [2;1). We prove that for Lipschitz boundary data and Lipschitz obstacles, viscosity solutions are unique and coincide with variational solutions. They are also uniform…

In this work we discuss a random Tug-of-War game in graphs where one of the players has the power to decide at each turn whether to play a round of classical random Tug-of-War, or let the other player choose the new game position in…
