Abstract
A generalized maximum principle is established for subsolutions inΩa bounded domian inof the extremal equations
where [ILM0003is the Pucci extremal operator depending on positive parameters
and
can be unbounded. More precisely, it is shown that if u is a subsolution of the above extremal equations, then for some
where C and q depend on
. The proof here runs through a sublinear functional representation without employing classical linear theory. The result is a generalization of the Fabes—Stroock result to fully nonlinear equations.
