Review text

We study the boundary-value problem for a weakly coupled system of fully nonlinear second order degenerate elliptic partial differential equations \[ F_i\bigl(x; u_j (x); u_i(x), Du_i(x), D^2u_i(x) \bigr)=0, \quad \text{for }x \in\Omega,\;u_i=0, \quad \text{for } x\in\partial \Omega,\tag{1} \] \(i,j=1,2\), \(j\neq i\). Here \(u= (u_1,u_2): \Omega \to \mathbb{R}^2\) represents the unknown function, \(F=(F_1,F_2): \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^n \times S(n) \to \mathbb{R}^2\) is a given function which is locally bounded, where \(S(n)\) denotes the set of real symmetric matrices of order \(n\), and \(\Omega\) is a bounded open subset of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We prove, by using Perron's method, that (1) has a unique viscosity solution if \(F\) satisfies certain assumptions.
