Abstract:
I present some elementary maximum principle arguments,
establishing interior gradient bounds and Harnack inequalities for
both $u$ and |Du|, where u is a smooth solution of the degenerate
elliptic PDE
Delta_infinity u = 0 .
These calculations in particular extend to higher dimensions G. Aronsson's assertion that a nonconstant, smooth solution can have no interior critical point.
