Existence and regularity results for fully nonlinear operators on the model of the pseudo Pucci's operators (Q1691840): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the pseudo-\(p\)-Laplacian, \(p>1\): \[ \tilde{\Delta}_pu:=\sum_{i=1}^N\partial_i(|\partial_i u|^{p-2}\partial_i u). \] The equation \(\tilde{\Delta}_pu=f\) has solutions in \(W^{1,p}_{\mathrm{loc}}\) for \(f\in L^{p'}_{\mathrm{loc}}\). When \(p<2\) Lipschitz regularity of the solutions was already proved by \textit{I. Fonseca} et al. [ESAIM, Control Optim. Calc. Var. 7, 69--95 (2002; Zbl 1044.49011)]. Here the authors prove Lipschitz regularity of viscosity solutions also for \(p<2\). They also prove a strong maximum principle.
