Comparison principles for general potential theories and PDEs

"In this monograph, Cirant et al. prove comparison principles for nonlinear potential theories in Euclidian spaces in a straightforward manner from duality and monotonicity. They also show how to deduce comparison principles for nonlinear differential operators--a program seemingly different fr...
