Maximum principle for Pucci equations with sublinear growth in \(D u\) and its applications (Q2011499): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors study the Dirichlet boundary value problems for Pucci extremal equations with sublinear growth terms in the first derivatives: \[ \mathcal P^{\pm}(D^2u)+\gamma|Du|+\mu|Du|^m=f\text{ in }\Omega \] where \(\Omega\in\mathbb R^n\), \(0<m<1\), and \(\gamma,\mu,f:\Omega\to\mathbb R\) are in \(L^p\) spaces with appropriate powers \(p\). The paper is organized in 5 sections. After an introduction, in Section 1, in Section 2, the authors introduce notations and recall some known results. Section 3 is devoted to showing the existence of \(L^p\)-strong solutions. Using the existence result, the authors show the ABP (Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci) maximum principle for \(L^p\)-viscosity solutions. Section 4 is dedicated to Harnack inequality. In Section 5, as an application, the authors show the continuity of viscosity solutions of \(\alpha\)-Poisson type equation for \(1<\alpha<2\).
