Lp-based L-infinity estimate for the normalized infinity Laplacian

Determine whether an $L^\infty$ estimate for solutions of the normalized infinity-Laplacian Poisson equation $\Delta_\infty^N u=f$ can be obtained in terms only of $\|f\|_{L^p}$ for some exponent $p>n$.

Background

The paper discusses the normalized infinity Laplacian ΔNu=u2D2uu,u=f\Delta_\infty^N u=|\nabla u|^{-2}\langle D^2u\nabla u,\nabla u\rangle=f as an extreme degenerate elliptic equation for which the classical Aleksandrov–Bakelman–Pucci mechanism fails. Earlier work obtained LL^\infty bounds depending on fL\|f\|_{L^\infty}, but raised the unresolved issue of whether weaker integrability information on ff, specifically an LpL^p norm with p>np>n, suffices for such an estimate. The paper states that no result resolving this question was known to the author at the time of writing.

References

They also raised the question of whether an $L\infty$ estimate can be obtained in terms only of $|f|_{Lp}$ for some $p>n$. We are not aware of a result resolving this question.
