Proof of Uniqueness of a Bounded Continuous Viscosity Solution on a Hilbert Triple
corollarycor:uniqueness-bounded-continuous-solution-hilbert-triple-2026cEach of the two solutions is both a subsolution and a supersolution, so the second-order comparison principle applied in both directions gives equality on the form space, and continuity extends it to the whole space.
Each result cited is universally quantified over the data in its own statement.
By Viscosity Subsolution, Supersolution and Solution of a Second-Order Equation on a Hilbert Triple §solution each of and is both a viscosity subsolution and a viscosity supersolution of on . By claim 6 of Properties of the Absolute Value in an Ordered Field, the hypotheses and give
Apply A Comparison Principle on a Hilbert Triple under the Second-Order Structure Condition §comparison with as the subsolution, as the supersolution and the constant : it gives for every . Applying it again with the roles of and exchanged gives for every . Hence for every .
The subspace is nonempty and dense in by Hilbert Triples: Standing Notation and Background §triple, and and are continuous on , so Extension of a Uniformly Continuous Real Function from a Dense Subset §uniqueness, applied in the metric space with the dense subset , gives for every .
