Abstract

We collect examples of boundary-value problems of Dirichlet and Dirichlet--Neumann type which we found instructive when designing and analysing numerical methods for fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. In particular, our model problem is the Monge--Ampère equation, which is treated through its equivalent reformulation as a Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation. Our examples illustrate how the different notions of boundary conditions appearing in the literature may admit different sets of viscosity sub- and supersolutions. We then discuss how these examples relate to the application of comparison principles in the analysis of numerical methods.
