Abstract

We prove the existence of a principal eigenvalue associated to the∞-Laplacian plus lower order terms and the Neumann boundarycondition in a bounded smooth domain. As an application we getuniqueness and existence results for the Neumann problem and adecay estimate for viscosity solutions of the Neumann evolutionproblem.
