We consider the comparison principle for semicontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of second order elliptic equations on the form $F(D^2 w,x) = 0$. A structural condition on the operator is presented that seems to unify the different…
The validity of the comparison principle in variable coefficient fully nonlinear gradient free potential theory is examined and then used to prove the comparison principle for fully nonlinear partial differential equations which determine a…
The weak and strong comparison principles, respectively, are investigated for quasi-linear elliptic boundary value problems with the $p$-Laplacian in one space dimension. We treat the degenerate case of $2 < p < \infty$ and allow also for…
This paper proves comparison principles for elliptic PDE involving the Finsler infinity Laplacian, a second-order differential operator with discontinuities in the gradient variable arising in $L^{\infty}$-variational problems and…
We prove the comparison principle for viscosity sub/super-solutions of degenerate subelliptic equations in non-divergence form that include the sub-elliptic infinity Laplacian and the normalized p-Laplacian. The equations are defined by a…
We study sub and supersolutions for the $p$-Laplace type elliptic equation of the form $$-\Delta_p u-V|u|^{p-2}u=0\quad\text{in $\Omega$},$$ where $\Omega$ is a radially symmetric domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ and $V(x)\ge 0$ is a continuous…
This paper presents some sufficient conditions for the validity of the comparison principle for the weak solutions of non - cooperative weakly coupled systems of elliptic second-order PDEs.
We investigate strong and weak versions of maximum and comparison principles for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations with the $p$-Laplacian $$ \partial_t u - \Delta_p u = \lambda |u|^{p-2} u + f(x,t) $$ under zero boundary and…
We establish interior Lipschitz regularity for continuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, conformally invariant, degenerate elliptic equations. As a by-product of our method, we also prove a weak form of the strong comparison…
We establish a comparison principle for viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions of a broad class of second-order quasilinear, maximally subelliptic PDEs on general manifolds. In fact, we prove the comparison theorem for a larger class of…
A comparison theorem is proved for a pair of solutions that satisfy in a weak sense opposite differential inequalities with nonlinearity of the form $f (u)$ with $f$ belonging to the class $L^p_{loc}$. The solutions are assumed to have…
By recasting the Klein--Gordon equation as an eigen-equation in the coupling parameter $v > 0,$ the basic Klein--Gordon comparison theorem may be written $f_1\leq f_2\implies G_1(E)\leq G_2(E)$, where $f_1$ and $f_2$, are the monotone…
We present some recent advances in the productive and symbiotic interplay between general potential theories (subharmonic functions associated to closed subsets $\mathcal{F} \subset \mathcal{J}^2(X)$ of the 2-jets on $X \subset…
In this paper, we obtain the strong comparison principle and Hopf Lemma for locally Lipschitz viscosity solutions to a class of nonlinear degenerate elliptic operators of the form $\nabla^2 \psi + L(x,\nabla \psi)$, including the conformal…
We prove a comparison principle for local weak solutions to a class of widely degenerate elliptic equations of the form \begin{equation} -\text{div} \left( \left(|Du|-1 \right)^{p-1}_+\frac{Du}{|Du|} \right) = f(x,u) \qquad \text{ in }…
In this article, we prove the uniqueness of viscosity solutions to $\mathcal{L}_{\infty} u =f$ in $\Omega$, where $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$ denotes the nonlocal infinity Laplace operator, $\Omega$ a bounded domain, and $f$ a continuous…
General potential theories concern the study of functions which are subharmonic with respect to a suitable constraint set (called a subequation) in the space of 2-jets. While interesting in their own right, general potential theories are…
This work provides a comparison principle for viscosity solutions to boundary value problems on (partially) bounded, cylindrical spaces. The comparison principle is based on a test function framework, that allows for the simultaneous…
In this paper we prove a strong comparison principle for radially decreasing solutions $u,v\in C_{0}^{1,\alpha}(\Bar{B_R})$ of the singular equations $-\Delta_p u-\frac{1}{u^\delta}=f(x)$ and $-\Delta_p v-\frac{1}{v^\delta}=g(x)$ in $B_R$.…
Comparison estimates are an important technical device in the study of regularity problems for quasilinear possibly degenerate elliptic and parabolic equations. Such tools have been employed indispensably in many papers of Mingione,…
