%0 Journal Article %T The AE Theorem and addition theorems for quasi-convex functions %A F. Reese Harvey %A H. Blaine Lawson Jr %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X The main point of this paper is to prove the following useful result: If the almost everywhere 2-jet of a locally quasi-convex function u satisfies a degenerate elliptic constraint F, then u is F-subharmonic, i.e., u is a viscosity F-subsolution. This AE Theorem makes otherwise difficult results transparent. Some instances of this are presented, including two versions of addition, and a comparison theorem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.1770v2
