Regularity properties for a class of non-uniformly elliptic Isaacs operators (Q2305523)

This paper deals with the thorough mathematical analysis of a class of elliptic differential operators defined as the sum of the minimum and the maximum eigenvalue of the Hessian matrix. The operator considered in this paper can be also viewed as a degenerate differential elliptic Isaacs operator, in dimension larger than two. The main results establish the existence and uniqueness for the Dirichlet problem, as well as local and global Hölder estimates for viscosity solutions. The authors also discuss related qualitative properties, including the strong maximum principle and Liouville-type theorems.
