On a comparison principle for Trudinger's equation (Q2156032)

The aim of this paper is to establish the comparison principle for non-negative solutions of the so called Trudinger's equation that is related to extremals of Poincaré inequalities in Sobolev spaces. This kind of results is very important because, if some progress has been made regarding continuity and regularity properties, the question about uniqueness for the Dirichlet boundary value problem seems to be unsettled (under natural assumptions). Lastly these results are applied to obtain pointwise control of the large time behavior of solutions.
