We prove a weak maximum principle for subsolutions of a degenerate, linear, second order elliptic operator with lower order terms, building on the existence results recently proved by the authors and \c{C}etin, Dal and Zeren.
We consider different notions of solutions to the $p(x)$-Laplace equation $-\div(\abs{Du(x)}^{p(x)-2}Du(x))=0$ with $ 1<p(x)<\infty$. We show by proving a comparison principle that viscosity supersolutions and $p(x)$-superharmonic functions…
