Abstract: In this article we consider a special type of degenerate elliptic partial differential equations of second order in convex domains that satisfy the interior sphere condition. We show that any positive viscosity solution $u$ of $-|ablau{|}^{a}lphaDelt{a}_p^{N}u=1$ has the property that $u^{f}racalpha+1alpha+2$ is a concave function. Secondly we consider positive solutions of the eigenvalue problem $-|ablau{|}^{a}lphaDelt{a}_p^{N}u=lambda|u{|}^{alpha}u$, in which case $logu$ turns out to be concave. The methods provided include a weak comparison principle and a Hopf-type Lemma.
