Q: Comparison principle for viscosity solution

mnmn1993I am currently reading the paper "The Inverse Mean Curvature Flow and the Riemannian Penrose Inequality" written by Gerhard Huisken and Tom Ilmanen. https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.jdg/1090349447 I am wondering what versions of comparison principle for viscosity solution was used in Lemma 3.4 ...

Q: Why are viscosity solutions useful solutions?

shuhaloI refer to definition of viscosity solution in user's guide to viscosity solutions of second order partial differential equations by Michael G. Crandall, Hitoshi Ishii and Pierre-Louis Lions. Viscosity solutions are generalized solutions which can be implied if the Sobolev theory (or similar) do...

Q: If a PDE have a unique classical solution, must it have a unique viscosity solution?

lost1If a PDE have a unique classical solution, must it have a unique viscosity solution? The particular problem I am interested in is parabolic, but I would be interested in the general case. A short answer would be good. An answer with references would be great!

Q: A question about the $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of concave fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equation

ThomasWhile reading Theorem 6.6 of Chapter Six of "Fully nonlinear elliptic equation" by Luis A. Caffarelli and Xavier Cabre in the American mathematical society colloquium publications vol. 43, I get two problems as follow. The theorem 6.6 of this chapter is to prove the $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of ...

Q: Equivalence of viscosity and weak solutions for the Poisson equation

user123456Suppose $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. How does one prove that weak solutions are viscosity solutions and vice versa for the problem $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = f(x) & \text{ in } \Omega\\ u=g & \text{ on } \partial \Omega \end{cases} $$ under suitable assumptions (to ...

Q: regularity for viscosity solutions of second order parabolic equations

saurabh trivediI would like to know whether viscosity solutions to $u_{t} - F( D^{2} (u) ) = 0$ are $C^{1, \alpha}$ analogous to the elliptic case as in the book by Caffarelli and Cabre . Here F is assumed to be uniformly elliptic . $D^{2}(u)$ is the spatial Hessian of $u$. An answer would be app...

In mathematics, the viscosity solution concept was introduced in the early 1980s by Pierre-Louis Lions and Michael G. Crandall as a generalization of the classical concept of what is meant by a 'solution' to a partial differential equation (PDE). It has been found that the viscosity solution is the natural solution concept to use in many applications of PDE's, including for example first order equations arising in optimal control (the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation), differential games (the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs equation) or front evolution problems, as well as second-order equations such as...
(The above queries return no results at the moment - the data should appear there after the next update of SEDE.)

Q: Evans-Krylov theorem

user128943Do there exist estimates for nonconcave functionals similar to Evans-Krylov theorem in chapter 6 of Fully nonlinear elliptic equations by Luis A.C affarelli and Cabre? Perhaps there is a counterexample.

Q: Electromagnetic energy in Lovelock gravities

José NavarroTo fix ideas, let us recall that General Relativity describes gravitational phenomena on a 4-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(X,g_{ab})$ with field equations that relate the energy-momentum tensor $T_{ab}\,$ of the matter distribution to the geometry of spacetime via the so called Einstei...

In theoretical physics, Lovelock's theory of gravity (often referred to as Lovelock gravity) is a generalization of Einstein's theory of general relativity introduced by David Lovelock in 1971. It is the most general metric theory of gravity yielding conserved second order equations of motion in arbitrary number of spacetime dimensions D. In this sense, Lovelock's theory is the natural generalization of Einstein's General Relativity to higher dimensions. In three and four dimensions (D = 3, 4), Lovelock's theory coincides with Einstein's theory, but in higher dimensions the theories are different...

@MartinSleziak It looks reasonably defined, but quite rare here in MO. Only 3 other posts (all questions) have "Lovelock" somewhere, and I'm not sure any of them deserves the tag.
@MartinSleziak "viscosity solutions" sounds a strange format but appears to really be a basic concept, and not just a particular type of PDE solutions among others. On MathSciNet it points to more than 2000 papers.
