suppose $\overline u(r)=\frac{1}{\omega_{n-1}}\int_{S^{n-1}}u(r,w)dw,0<r<1,$ is the average of $u(r,w)$ on sphere $S^{n-1}$,where $(r,w)$ are the polar coordinates in $R^n$. My question is whether (edited) $$ u(r,w) \leq C\overline u(r),$$ where $C$ is independent of $u$. If this inequality is true, How can I prove it? This question is from Aviles' article (see inequality(2.3)),Local Behavior of Solutions of Some Elliptic Equations, Commun.Math.Phys.108,177-192(1987).
