Harnack inequality for degenerate and singular operators of p-Laplacian type on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We study viscosity solutions to degenerate and singular elliptic equations of p-Laplacian type on Riemannian manifolds. The Krylov–Safonov type Harnack inequality for the p-Laplacian operators with \(1<p<\infty \) is established on the manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below based on ABP type estimates. We also prove the Harnack inequality for nonlinear p-Laplacian type operators assuming that a nonlinear perturbation of Ricci curvature is bounded below.
