G˚arding Cones and Bellman Equations in the Theory of Hessian Operators and Equations

Abstract

In this work, we continue investigation of algebraic properties of G˚arding cones in the space of symmetric matrices. Based on this theory, we propose a new approach to study of fully nonlinear differential operators and second-order partial differential equations. We prove new-type comparison theorems for evolution Hessian operators and establish a relation between Hessian and Bellman equations.
