Abstract
We find suitable assumptions for the quasi-concave envelope u* of a solution (or a subsolution) u of an elliptic equation F(x, u, ∇u, D2u) = 0 (possibly fully nonlinear) to be a viscosity subsolution of the same equation. We apply this result to study the convexity of level sets of solutions to elliptic Dirichlet problems in a convex ring Ω = Ω0 \ Ω‾1.
