On a complete metric space with interpolation points, a bounded s-subsolution lies below a bounded s-supersolution of the eikonal equation off a set K, when the right-hand side is uniformly continuous and bounded below by a positive constant and the two are ordered uniformly near K.

Statement

In the setting of Slope-Based Viscosity Solutions on a Metric Space: Standing Notation, suppose that (X,d)(X,d) is complete and has interpolation points. Let K⊆XK\subseteq X be nonempty and such that Ω=X∖K\Omega=X\setminus K is open, and write D(x)=dist⁡(x,K)D(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,K) for x∈Xx\in X. Let f:Ω→Rf:\Omega\to\mathbb{R} be uniformly continuous on Ω\Omega, and suppose there is a positive real c0c_{0} with c0≤f(x)c_{0}\le f(x) for every x∈Ωx\in\Omega. Let u,v:X→Ru,v:X\to\mathbb{R} be bounded above and below, with uu upper semicontinuous on XX and vv lower semicontinuous on XX, such that the restriction of uu to Ω\Omega is an s-subsolution and the restriction of vv to Ω\Omega is an s-supersolution of the eikonal equation ∣∇u∣=f|\nabla u|=f in Ω\Omega.

Suppose moreover that for every positive real β\beta there is a positive real σ\sigma such that

u(x)−v(y)<βfor all x,y∈X with D(x)+D(y)+d(x,y)<σ.u(x)-v(y)<\beta\qquad\text{for all }x,y\in X\text{ with }D(x)+D(y)+d(x,y)<\sigma .

Then u(x)≤v(x)u(x)\le v(x) for every x∈Xx\in X.
