Local regularity for time-dependent tug-of-war games with varying probabilities
2016
We study local regularity properties of value functions of time-dependent tug-of-war games. For games with constant probabilities we get local Lipschitz continuity. For more general games with probabilities depending on space and time we obtain H\"older and Harnack estimates. The games have a connection to the normalized $p(x,t)$-parabolic equation $(n+p(x,t))u_t=\Delta u+(p(x,t)-2) \Delta_{\infty}^N u$.
Harnack estimates for degenerate parabolic equations modeled on the subelliptic $p-$Laplacian
2014
Abstract We establish a Harnack inequality for a class of quasi-linear PDE modeled on the prototype ∂ t u = − ∑ i = 1 m X i ⁎ ( | X u | p − 2 X i u ) where p ⩾ 2 , X = ( X 1 , … , X m ) is a system of Lipschitz vector fields defined on a smooth manifold M endowed with a Borel measure μ, and X i ⁎ denotes the adjoint of X i with respect to μ. Our estimates are derived assuming that (i) the control distance d generated by X induces the same topology on M ; (ii) a doubling condition for the μ-measure of d-metric balls; and (iii) the validity of a Poincare inequality involving X and μ. Our results extend the recent work in [16] , [36] , to a more general setting including the model cases of (1)…
Generalized Harnack inequality for semilinear elliptic equations
2015
Abstract This paper is concerned with semilinear equations in divergence form div ( A ( x ) D u ) = f ( u ) , where f : R → [ 0 , ∞ ) is nondecreasing. We introduce a sharp Harnack type inequality for nonnegative solutions which is a quantified version of the condition for strong maximum principle found by Vazquez and Pucci–Serrin in [30] , [24] and is closely related to the classical Keller–Osserman condition [15] , [22] for the existence of entire solutions.
