Abstract

We examine Hamilton–Jacobi equations driven by fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic operators in the presence of superlinear Hamiltonians. By exploring the Ishii–Jensen inequality, we prove that viscosity solutions are locally Lipschitz-continuous, with estimates depending on the structural conditions of the problem. We close the paper with an application of our findings to a two-phase free boundary problem.
