Abstract:

It is shown how one can get upper bounds for $|u-v|$ when $u$ and $v$ are the (viscosity) solutions of \begin{equation*} u_t - \alpha (D_x u) \Delta _x u = 0\quad \text {and}\quad v_t - \beta (D_x v) \Delta _x v = 0, \end{equation*} respectively, in $(0,\infty )\times \Omega$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Similar results are obtained for some other parabolic equations as well, including certain equations in divergence form.
