Abstract

For $p>1$, we consider the boundary value problem for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations $-\lambda_i(D^2u)+|Du|^p+\gamma u=f(x)$ in bounded domains with Dirichlet or boundary blow-up conditions; here $\lambda_i(D^2u)$ denotes the $i$-th eigenvalue of the Hessian. We study existence and nonexistence of solutions together with the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions when $\gamma$ goes to zero. A priori Lipschitz estimates play an important role. The interplay between the operator's degeneracy and the superlinear growth of the Hamiltonian gives rise to phenomena that are very different depending on which of the two terms dominates, e.g. the ergodic dichotomy takes place only when $i=N$, while new phenomena arise for $i<N$ in which case, under mild conditions, solutions that blow up even in just one point do not exist, and conditions on the size of $f$ must be imposed for the existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem with homogeneous boundary condition.

Isolated Singularities and Measure Data Problems for Semilinear Equations Driven by Stable L\'evy Operators

We investigate positive solutions of semilinear equations driven by uniformly elliptic strictly $2s$-stable L\'evy operators, where $s\in (0,1)$. We first prove that every positive distributional solution of $-Lu=u^p$ in a punctured domain $D\setminus\{0\}$ satisfies $-Lu=u^p+k\delta_0$ in $D$ for some $k\ge0$, and tha...

Improved Regularity for Nonlocal Hamilton--Jacobi Equations with Superlinear Hamiltonians

We investigate the regularity of viscosity solutions to a class of nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations driven by x-dependent integro-differential operators and coercive superlinear Hamiltonians. We first establish H{\"o}lder regularity for bounded viscosity solutions under general structural and continuity assumptions o...

Uniqueness and boundary behaviour of solutions to variational problems with linear growth

We investigate the Dirichlet problem for the variational integral $J[u] = \int_{\Omega} f(\nabla u) \, dx$ with density $f$ of linear growth satisfying appropriate ellipticity conditions. We show that the relaxed problem admits a unique solution $u$ in the space of functions of bounded variation, if the set $\Gamma_0$...

Solvability of the Poisson-Dirichlet problem in domains with boundaries of mixed dimension

We extend several characterizations of the $L^p$-solvability of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem to (possibly degenerate) elliptic operators $L=-\textrm{div}(wA\nabla)$ defined on a large class of open sets $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This framework encompasses not only uniformly elliptic operators in Lipschitz domain...

Harnack Theory and Rigidity for Singular and Degenerate Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations with Hamiltonians

We study regularity, Harnack inequalities, Liouville rigidity, and principal eigenvalues for viscosity solutions of singular or degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations $\Phi(x,|\nabla u|)F(D^2u)-H(x,\nabla u)+c(x)|u|^{i(\Phi)}u=h(x)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$, where $\Phi$ describes the singular or degenerate...

One-Dimensional Divergence-Type Jacobi Operators Driven by The Doubling Map

We study one-dimensional Jacobi operators of divergence-gradient type on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0})$, with coefficients generated by the doubling map, $a_n(x)=a(2^n x \mathrm{mod} 1)$. For continuous positive sampling functions, we show that the almost-sure essential spectrum is an interval containing the bottom of t...
