Abstract
We prove a comparison principle for viscosity solutions of a fully nonlinear equation satisfying a condition of non-degeneracy in a fixed direction. We apply these results to prove that a continuous solution of the corresponding Dirichlet problem exists. To obtain the existence of barrier functions and well-posedness, we find suitable explicit assumptions on the domain and on the ellipticity constants of the operator.File in questo prodotto:
