The Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci maximum principle for Lp-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear second order uniformly elliptic/parabolic partial differential equations with possibly superllinear growth terms of the first derivatives, unbounded coefficients, unbounded inhomogeneous terms has been established under appropriate hypotheses in two research papers with A. Swiech. Some counter-examples have been presented when there are no hypotheses.Perron's method has been first applied to Lp-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations by introducing semicontinuous Lp-visosity solutions.For several nonlinear variational inequalities arising in Mathematical Finance, optimal controls have been constructed by showing that associated value functions admit enough regularity in research papers with H. Morimoto, and H. Morimoto and S. Sakaguchi.
