If u is a viscosity subsolution of F relative to a penalty pair and F'(nu,r+s,q,Y) <= F(nu,r,q,Y) everywhere, then u+s is a viscosity subsolution of F'; symmetrically for supersolutions with the reverse inequality. The delta-envelopes of u+s are those of u shifted by s.

Statement

In the setting of The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, let (D,DΣ,E,Σ)(\mathcal{D},\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma},\mathcal{E},\Sigma) be a penalty pair on P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), and let FF and F′F' be second-order equation operators over DΣ\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}, with δ\delta-shifts Fδ−,Fδ+F^{-}_{\delta},F^{+}_{\delta} and Fδ′−,Fδ′+F'^{-}_{\delta},F'^{+}_{\delta} relative to that pair. Penalty-subordinate growth from above and from below, the δ\delta-envelopes wδ−w^{-}_{\delta} and wδ+w^{+}_{\delta} of a function w:D→Rw:\mathcal{D}\to\mathbb{R}, and viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions relative to the penalty pair are those of the definitions cited. Let s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R} and u:D→Ru:\mathcal{D}\to\mathbb{R}, and let u+s:D→Ru+s:\mathcal{D}\to\mathbb{R} be the function with value u(μ)+su(\mu)+s at μ\mu. In this lemma the letters rr and ss denote real numbers; the dimension written rr in Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation is not used.

1. (Subsolutions) Suppose that uu is a viscosity subsolution of FF relative to the penalty pair (so that uu has penalty-subordinate growth from above), and that

F′(ν,r+s,q,Y)≤F(ν,r,q,Y)for every (ν,q)∈V(DΣ), r∈R, Y∈S(d).F'(\nu,r+s,q,Y)\le F(\nu,r,q,Y)\qquad\text{for every }(\nu,q)\in\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}),\ r\in\mathbb{R},\ Y\in\mathcal{S}(d).

Then u+su+s has penalty-subordinate growth from above, (u+s)δ−(μ)=uδ−(μ)+s(u+s)^{-}_{\delta}(\mu)=u^{-}_{\delta}(\mu)+s for every positive δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R} and every μ∈D\mu\in\mathcal{D}, and u+su+s is a viscosity subsolution of F′F' relative to the penalty pair.

2. (Supersolutions) Suppose that uu is a viscosity supersolution of FF relative to the penalty pair (so that uu has penalty-subordinate growth from below), and that

F(ν,r,q,Y)≤F′(ν,r+s,q,Y)for every (ν,q)∈V(DΣ), r∈R, Y∈S(d).F(\nu,r,q,Y)\le F'(\nu,r+s,q,Y)\qquad\text{for every }(\nu,q)\in\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}),\ r\in\mathbb{R},\ Y\in\mathcal{S}(d).

Then u+su+s has penalty-subordinate growth from below, (u+s)δ+(μ)=uδ+(μ)+s(u+s)^{+}_{\delta}(\mu)=u^{+}_{\delta}(\mu)+s for every positive δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R} and every μ∈D\mu\in\mathcal{D}, and u+su+s is a viscosity supersolution of F′F' relative to the penalty pair.
