In the previous paper [11], introducing the notions of potentials and of capacity associated with a convex function Φ given on a regular functional space we discussed potential theoretic properties of the gradient ∇Φ which were originally introduced and studied by Calvert [5] for a class of nonlinear monotone operators in Sobolev spaces. For example:

  • (i) The modulus contraction operates.

  • (ii) The principle of lower envelope holds.

  • (iii) The domination principle holds.

  • (iv) The contraction Tk onto the real interval [0, k] (k > 0) operates.

  • (v) The strong principle of lower envelope holds.

  • (vi) The complete maximum principle holds.
