contents In this work, we provide conditions for nonlinear monotone semigroups on locally convex vector lattices to give rise to a generalized notion of viscosity solutions to a related nonlinear partial differential equation. The semigroup needs to satisfy a convexity estimate, so called $K$-convexity, w.r.t. another family of operators, defined on a potentially larger locally convex vector lattice. We then show that, under mild continuity requirements on the bounding family of operators, the semigroup yields viscosity solutions to the abstract Cauchy problem given in terms of its generator in the larger locally convex vector lattice. We apply our results to drift control problems for infinite-dimensional Lévy processes and robust optimal control problems for infinite-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.
