Let F satisfy the hypotheses of the comparison principle, and let FnF_n, F'_n be operators with F - hnh_n <= FnF_n and F'_n <= F + h'_n, where the defects hnh_n, h'_n take values in [0,H] and tend to zero uniformly on every set of measures with bounded penalty and bounded score. If unu_n is a viscosity subsolution of FnF_n bounded above by b and vnv_n a viscosity supersolution of F'_n bounded below by b', then unu_n - vnv_n is eventually at most any positive number, uniformly on every set of bounded penalty.

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 Wasserstein-coercive penalty pair on P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) with closed score along couplings, whose penalty domain D\mathcal{D} has the map property. Let FF, the reference operator, be a second-order equation operator over DΣ\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}, with δ\delta-shifts relative to that pair, that is locally strictly proper and satisfies the shift-coercivity condition, the shift-semicontinuity condition and the second-order structure condition at uniquely mapped pairs. Here ∣s∣|s| is the absolute value of s∈Rs\in\mathbb{R}, and ∥⋅∥ν\lVert\cdot\rVert_{\nu} the norm of L2(ν;Rd)L^{2}(\nu;\mathbb{R}^{d}), which contains Σ(ν)\Sigma(\nu) for ν∈DΣ\nu\in\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma} by Penalty Pairs on the Wasserstein Space: the Penalty, Its Score, and Their Domains §pair.

Let H∈RH\in\mathbb{R} be nonnegative. For every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} let FnF_{n} and Fn′F'_{n} be second-order equation operators over DΣ\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma} and let hn,hn′:DΣ→Rh_{n},h'_{n}:\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}\to\mathbb{R} satisfy 0≤hn(ν)≤H0\le h_{n}(\nu)\le H and 0≤hn′(ν)≤H0\le h'_{n}(\nu)\le H for every ν∈DΣ\nu\in\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma} and

F(ν,r,q,Y)−hn(ν)≤Fn(ν,r,q,Y),Fn′(ν,r,q,Y)≤F(ν,r,q,Y)+hn′(ν)F(\nu,r,q,Y)-h_{n}(\nu)\le F_{n}(\nu,r,q,Y),\qquad F'_{n}(\nu,r,q,Y)\le F(\nu,r,q,Y)+h'_{n}(\nu)

for every (ν,q)(\nu,q) in the bundle V(DΣ)\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}), every r∈Rr\in\mathbb{R} and every Y∈S(d)Y\in\mathcal{S}(d). Assume that the defects vanish locally uniformly: for all positive R,C∈RR,C\in\mathbb{R} and every positive ε∈R\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} there is n0∈Nn_{0}\in\mathbb{N} such that

hn(ν)+hn′(ν)≤εfor every n∈N with n0≤n and every ν∈DΣ with ∣E(ν)∣≤R and ∥Σ(ν)∥ν≤C.h_{n}(\nu)+h'_{n}(\nu)\le\varepsilon\qquad\text{for every }n\in\mathbb{N}\text{ with }n_{0}\le n\text{ and every }\nu\in\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}\text{ with }|\mathcal{E}(\nu)|\le R\text{ and }\lVert\Sigma(\nu)\rVert_{\nu}\le C .

No semicontinuity of the defects is assumed.

Let b,b′∈Rb,b'\in\mathbb{R}, and for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} let un,vn:D→Ru_{n},v_{n}:\mathcal{D}\to\mathbb{R} satisfy un(μ)≤bu_{n}(\mu)\le b and b′≤vn(μ)b'\le v_{n}(\mu) for every μ∈D\mu\in\mathcal{D}; by The Delta-Envelopes of Bounded Functions and Their Monotonicity in the Weight, for a Wasserstein-Coercive Penalty Pair §growth, unu_{n} has penalty-subordinate growth from above and vnv_{n} from below. Assume that, for every nn, unu_{n} is a viscosity subsolution of FnF_{n} and vnv_{n} is a viscosity supersolution of Fn′F'_{n}, both relative to the penalty pair.

(Asymptotic comparison) For all positive R,θ∈RR,\theta\in\mathbb{R} there is n1∈Nn_{1}\in\mathbb{N} such that

un(μ)−vn(μ)≤θfor every n∈N with n1≤n and every μ∈D with ∣E(μ)∣≤R.u_{n}(\mu)-v_{n}(\mu)\le\theta\qquad\text{for every }n\in\mathbb{N}\text{ with }n_{1}\le n\text{ and every }\mu\in\mathcal{D}\text{ with }|\mathcal{E}(\mu)|\le R .
