We introduce a notion of subunit vector field for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations. We prove that an interior maximum of a viscosity subsolution of such an equation propagates along the trajectories of subunit vector fields.…
We are concerned with fully nonlinear possibly degenerate elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with superlinear terms with respect to $Du$. We prove several comparison principles among viscosity solutions which may be unbounded…
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 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 }…
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 prove a comparison theorem for super- and sub-solutions with non-vanishing gradients to semilinear PDEs provided a nonlinearity $f$ is $L^p$ function with $p > 1$. The proof is based on a strong maximum principle for solutions of…
We study the Dirichlet problem for subelliptic partial differential equations of Monge-Ampere type involving the derivates with respect to a family X of vector fields of Carnot type. The main result is a comparison principle among viscosity…
We present two comparison principles for viscosity sub- and supersolutions of Monge-Ampere-type equations associated to a family of vector fields. In particular, we obtain the uniqueness of a viscosity solution to the Dirichlet problem for…
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…
We study weak solutions to degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations, involving first order terms, in unbounded tubular domains. In particular we show that, under suitable hypotheses, the weak comparison principle holds if the domain is…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Comparison principles are developed for discrete quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. We consider the analysis of a class of nonmonotone Leray-Lions problems featuring both nonlinear solution and gradient dependence in the…
We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the domain interior and on the boundary. When the nonlinearities satisfy some monotonicity…
We present a new proof for the equivalence of potential theoretic weak solutions and viscosity solutions to the $\texttt{p}(\cdot)$-Laplace equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The proof of the equivalence in the variable exponent case in Euclidean…
We obtain comparison theorems for non-negative solutions of quasilinear elliptic inequalities
In this paper, we study some properties of viscosity sub/super-solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations relative to the eigenvalues of the complex Hessian. We show that every viscosity subsolution is approximated by a…
