Global wellposedness of the Cauchy problem for a third order PDE
Consider $$u_t-\alpha u_{xx} - \beta u_{xxx} = f(u_x)$$
with initial condition $u(0,x) = u_0(x)$,
where $\alpha>0$, $\beta \in \mathbb{R}$, $u_0 \in C^\infty(\mathbb{R})$, and $f$ is Lipschitz (...

Why is the ellipticity condition important in the theory of viscosity solutions?
A fundamental assumption in User's guide (p. 2) is that the operator $F$ should be proper.
However, the role of this monotonicity condition (and especially of the "ellipticity condition" part) is ...
