We obtain a Liouville-type theorem for cylindrical viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear CR invariant equations on the Heisenberg group. As a by-product, we also prove a comparison principle with finite singularities for viscosity solutions to more general fully nonlinear operators on the Heisenberg group.

We study the ergodic problem for fully nonlinear operators which may be singular or degenerate when the gradient of solutions vanishes. We prove the convergence of both explosive solutions and solutions of Dirichlet problems for approximating equations. We further characterize the ergodic constant as the infimum of constants for which there exist bounded sub-solutions. As intermediate results of independent interest, we prove a priori Lipschitz estimates depending only on the norm of the zeroth order term, and a comparison principle for equations having no zero order terms.

In this paper we prove some Hadamard and Liouville type properties for nonnegative viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic partial differential inequalities in the whole space.

AbstractWe investigate strong maximum (and minimum) principles for fully nonlinear second-order equations on Riemannian manifolds that are non-totally degenerate and satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. Our results apply to a large class of nonlinear operators, among which Pucci’s extremal operators, some singular operators such as those modeled on the p- and $$\infty $$ ∞ -Laplacian, and mean curvature-type problems. As a byproduct, we establish new strong comparison principles for some second-order uniformly elliptic problems when the manifold has nonnegative sectional curvature.

The aim of this article is to investigate Liouville-type problems on complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds with Poincaré-Sobolev Inequality. Two significant technical breakthroughs are demonstrated in research findings. The first breakthrough is an extension from non-flat manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvatures to curved manifolds with Ricci curvatures varying among negative values, zero, and positive values. Poincaré-Sobolev Inequality has been applied to overcome difficulties of an extension on manifolds. Poincaré-Sobolev Inequality has offered a special structure on curved manifolds with a mix of Ricci curvature signs. The second breakthrough is a generalization of $q$-energy from finite to infinite. At this point, a technique of $p$-balanced growth has been introduced to overcome difficulties of broadening from finite $q$-energy in $L^q$ spaces to infinite $q$-energy in non-$L^q$ spaces. An innovative computational method and new estimation techniques are illustrated. At the end of this article, Liouville-type results including vanishing properties for differential forms and constancy properties for differential maps have been verified on manifolds with Poincaré-Sobolev Inequality approaching to infinite $q$-energy growth.
