摘要
An appropriate extension of all the subsolutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations F(x,u(x), Du(x),D2u(x)) = 0 (1.2) in ω, under the assumption that F is convex in the (u,Du,D2) variables is given. Since the degenerate equations of form (1.2) do not have classical solutions in general, the framework of viscosity solutions is derived.
