The Nondecreasing Envelope of a Truncated Modulus of Continuity
lemmalem:modulus-monotone-majorant-2026aAnalysisGiven a modulus of continuity and a nonnegative bound M, the running supremum of the modulus truncated at M is a nondecreasing modulus of continuity bounded by M that dominates the truncated modulus (not necessarily the modulus itself).Uniqueness of a Bounded Continuous Viscosity Solution on a Hilbert Triple

lemmalem:doubled-test-estimate-hilbert-triple-2026bAnalysisPDEAt a maximum point of the doubled function of the delta-envelopes of a subsolution and a supersolution, perturbed by a small linear term, there are test points in D(A) close to the maximum point, with envelope values close to those at the maximum point, at which the properness co…Closed Superlevel Sets of a Sum on a Product Space and of a Doubled Function
lemmalem:closed-superlevel-sum-product-hilbert-2026aAnalysisThe sum of two functions bounded above with closed superlevel sets has closed superlevel sets on the product space, and subtracting a multiple of the squared distance between the coordinates preserves this and yields a coercive upper bound.Penalised Suprema: Monotonicity, Near-Maximisers, and Vanishing Penalty along a Doubling Sequence
lemmalem:penalised-supremum-limit-2026aAnalysisFor the suprema of a function penalised by a nonnegative function that vanishes somewhere, the suprema are nonincreasing in the penalty parameter, a near-maximiser has small penalty compared with the drop of the suprema under doubling, and those drops tend to zero along a doublin…The Shift-Continuity Condition on Admissible Test Data

lemmalem:viscosity-locality-hilbert-triple-2026aAnalysisPDEA second-order equation operator on an open subset of a Hilbert triple restricts to any smaller open set, viscosity sub- and supersolutions restrict with it, and a function that is a viscosity subsolution near each point of the set is one on the whole set.
