Comparison principles in context of PDEs (35B51) Viscosity solutions to PDEs (35D40) PDEs with multivalued right-hand sides (35R70)

Abstract: The validity of the comparison principle in variable coefficient fully nonlinear gradient free potential theory is examined and then used to prove the comparison principle for fully nonlinear partial differential equations which determine a suitable potential theory. The approach combines the notions of proper elliptic branches inspired by Krylov (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 1995) with the monotonicity-duality method initiated by Harvey and Lawson (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 2009). In the variable coefficient nonlinear potential theory, a special role is played by the Hausdorff continuity of the proper elliptic map $Theta$ which defines the potential theory. In the applications to nonlinear equations defined by an operator $F$, structural conditions on $F$ will be determined for which there is a correspondence principle between $Theta$-subharmonics/superharmonics and admissible viscosity sub and supersolutions of the nonlinear equation and for which comparison for the equation follows from the associated compatible potential theory. General results and explicit models of interest from differential geometry will be examined.
