Abstract
We derive a comparison principle for a degenerate elliptic partial differential equation without boundary conditions which arises naturally in optimal learning strategies. Our argument is direct and exploits the degeneracy of the differential operator to construct (logarithmically) diverging barriers.
期刊介绍:
Interfaces and Free Boundaries is dedicated to the mathematical modelling, analysis and computation of interfaces and free boundary problems in all areas where such phenomena are pertinent. The journal aims to be a forum where mathematical analysis, partial differential equations, modelling, scientific computing and the various applications which involve mathematical modelling meet. Submissions should, ideally, emphasize the combination of theory and application.
