Abstract

We are concerned with fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators with a superlinear gradient term. We look for local estimates, such as weak Harnack inequality and local maximum principle, and their extension up to the boundary. As applications, we deduce ABP-type estimates and weak maximum principles in general unbounded domains, a strong maximum principle, and a Liouville-type theorem.

Highlights

  • The qualitative theory of second-order elliptic equations received a strong effort from Harnack inequalities

  • For the sake of completeness, we show the basic weak Harnack inequality and local MP for a uniformly elliptic operator with an additive first-order term having linear growth in the gradient

  • We say that an open connected set Ω of Rn is a G domain if to each y ∈ Ω we can associate a ball B BR xy of radius R ≤ R0 such that y ∈ BτR xy, B \ Ωy ≥ σ|B|, Gσ,τ
