Abstract: Let $A_H$ be the Aronsson operator associated with a Hamiltonian $H(x,z,p).$ Aronsson operators arise from $L^{i}nfty$ variational problems, two person game theory, control problems, etc. In this paper, we prove, under suitable conditions, that if $uin{W}_{mloc}^{1,infty}(Omega)$ is simultaneously a viscosity solution of both of the equations $A_H(u)=f(x)$ and $A_H(u)=g(x)$ in $Omega$, where $f,ginC(Omega),$ then $f=g.$ The assumption $uin{W}_{loc}^{1,infty}(Omega)$ can be relaxed to $uinC(Omega)$ in many interesting situations. Also, we prove that if $f,g,uinC(Omega)$ and $u$ is simultaneously a viscosity solution of the equations $Delt{a}_{i}nftyuover|Du{|}^2=-f(x)$ and $Delt{a}_{infty}uover|Du{|}^2=-g(x)$ in $Omega$ then $f=g.$ This answers a question posed in Peres, Schramm, Scheffield and Wilson [PSSW] concerning whether or not the value function uniquely determines the running cost in the "tug-of-war" game.
