Viscosity Subsolution and Supersolution up to the Boundary

A function on the closure of an open set is a viscosity sub- or supersolution up to the boundary when it is semicontinuous on the closure and its restriction to the open set is a viscosity sub- or supersolution there.

Statement

In the setting of Second-Order Equations on Euclidean Open Sets, let n≥1n\ge1 be a natural number, let Ω⊆Rn\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be open, and write Ω‾=cl⁡Rn(Ω)\overline{\Omega}=\operatorname{cl}_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}(\Omega), so that Ω⊆Ω‾\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:Ω‾→Ru:\overline{\Omega}\to\mathbb{R}, and let u∣Ω:Ω→Ru|_{\Omega}:\Omega\to\mathbb{R} be the function whose value at x∈Ωx\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 u∣Ωu|_{\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 u∣Ωu|_{\Omega} is a viscosity supersolution of FF on Ω\Omega.
