Abstract: The aim of this article is the explicit construction of some barrier functions ("fundamental solutions") for the Pucci-Heisenberg operators. Using these functions we obtain the continuity property, up to the boundary, for the viscosity solution of fully non-linear Dirichlet problems on the Heisenberg group, if the boundary of the domain satisfies some regularity geometrical assumptions (e.g. an exterior Heisenberg-ball condition at the characteristic points). We point out that the knowledge of the fundamental solutions allows also to obtain qualitative properties of Hadamard, Liouville and Harnack type.

Review text

The general goal of the paper under review is the explicit construction of suitable barrier functions for the Pucci-Heisenberg operators. By virtue of these barriers, the authors obtain continuity up to the boundary for the viscosity solutions of fully non-linear Dirichlet problems on the Heisenberg group, assuming the boundary of the domain satisfies some regularity geometrical assumptions (e.g., an exterior Heisenberg-ball condition at the characteristic points).
