Reason: First published version. Names the configuration used throughout comparison theory: a function on the closure of an open set that is semicontinuous there and whose restriction to the open set is a viscosity subsolution, respectively supersolution. Cited to the opening of Section 3 of Crandall-Ishii-Lions.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number and let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers. Equip Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n with the Euclidean distance dEd_E, a metric by Euclidean Distance is a Metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and with the topology TdE\mathcal{T}_{d_E} of its metric-open subsets, a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology that agrees with Euclidean openness by Euclidean Openness Agrees with Metric Openness on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Semicontinuity refers to dEd_E.

Let ΩRn\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be open and let Ω=clRn(Ω)\overline{\Omega}=\operatorname{cl}_{\mathbb{R}^n}(\Omega) be its closure in (Rn,TdE)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{T}_{d_E}), so that ΩΩ\Omega\subseteq\overline{\Omega} by The Closure is the Smallest Closed Superset.

Let FF be a second-order equation operator on Ω\Omega, let u:ΩRu:\overline{\Omega}\to\mathbb{R}, and let uΩ:ΩRu|_{\Omega}:\Omega\to\mathbb{R} be the function whose value at xΩx\in\Omega is u(x)u(x).

We say that uu is a viscosity subsolution of FF up to the boundary of Ω\Omega if uu is upper semicontinuous on Ω\overline{\Omega} and uΩu|_{\Omega} is a viscosity subsolution of FF on Ω\Omega.

We say that uu is a viscosity supersolution of FF up to the boundary of Ω\Omega if uu is lower semicontinuous on Ω\overline{\Omega} and uΩu|_{\Omega} is a viscosity supersolution of FF on Ω\Omega.
