In our previous paper [Ekren, Touzi and Zhang (2015)], we introduced a notion of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear path-dependent PDEs, extending the semilinear case of Ekren et al. [Ann. Probab. 42 (2014) 204-236], which satisfies a…

Viscosity solutions are suitable notions in the study of nonlinear PDEs justified by estimates established via the maximum principle or the comparison principle. Here we prove that the isoperimetric profile functions of Riemannian manifolds…

In this paper we consider nonlinear elliptic PDEs of the type $$-\Delta_p u+a(x)|u|^{p-2}u=|u|^{p^*-2}u \qquad \mbox{ in }\Omega,$$ where $1<p<N$ and $p^*=Np/(N-p)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, and allowing the asymptotic behavior of…

Sharp $L^\infty$ estimates are obtained for general classes of fully non-linear PDE's on non-K\"ahler manifolds, complementing the theory developed earlier by the authors in joint work with F. Tong for the K\"ahler case. The key idea is…
