Let P be a second-order, linear, elliptic operator with real coefficients which is defined on a noncompact and connected Riemannian manifold M. It is well known that the equation Pu = 0 in M admits a positive supersolution which is not a…
The necessity of a Maximum Principle arises naturally when one is interested in the study of qualitative properties of solutions to partial differential equations. In general, to ensure the validity of these kind of principles one has to…

The maximum principle forms an important qualitative property of second order elliptic equations, therefore its discrete analogues, the so-called discrete maximum principles (DMPs) have drawn much attention. In this paper DMPs are…

We improve a result in Kim and Lee (Ann. Appl. Math. 37(2):111--130, 2021): showing that if the coefficients of an elliptic operator in non-divergence form are of Dini mean oscillation, then its Green's function has the same asymptotic…
