Abstract: For each $k=0,dots,n$ we construct a continuous phase $f_k$, with $f_k(0)=(n-2k)fracpi2$, and viscosity sub- and supersolutions $v_k$, $u_k$, of the elliptic PDE $su{m}_{i=1}^{n}arctan(lambd{a}_i(D^{2}w))=f_k(x)$ such that $v_k-u_k$ has an isolated maximum at the origin. It has been an open question whether the comparison principle would hold in this second order equation for arbitrary continuous phases $fcolonOmegao(-npi/2,npi/2)$. Our examples show it does not.
