Review text

The author considers a fully nonlinear, non-homogeneous second order equations of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINEF(D^2u) = f(x)NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with a uniformly elliptic operator \(F\). The Harnack estimates are well-known in the continuum case where the previous equation is studied as a partial differential equation in \(\mathbb R^n\). In this paper, the author considers fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic difference equations on rectangular lattices. He proves Harnack estimates that hold for all non-negative supersolutions. Note that the Harnack constant depends on the graph distance on lattices. For the proof the author modifies the proof of the weak Harnack inequality. Applying the same idea to elliptic equations in a Euclidean space, the author also derives a Harnack type inequality for non-negative viscosity supersolutions.
