We prove a quantitative inhomogeneous Hopf-Oleinik lemma for viscosity solutions of $$|\nabla u|^{\alpha}F(D^{2}u)=f $$ and, more generally, for viscosity supersolutions of $|\nabla u|^{\alpha}\,{M}^-_{\lambda,\Lambda}(D^{2}u)\le f$. The…
Let $u$ be a solution to the normalized p-harmonic obstacle problem with $p>2$. That is, $u\in W^{1,p}(B_1(0))$, $2<p<\infty$, $u\ge 0$ and $$ \d\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\right)=\chi_{\{u>0\}}\textrm{ in }B_1(0) $$ where $u(x)\ge 0$…
