We obtain a global extension of the classical weak Harnack inequality which extends and quantifies the Hopf-Oleinik boundary-point lemma, for uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form. Among the consequences is a boundary gradient…
We develop a new, unified approach to the following two classical questions on elliptic PDE: the strong maximum principle for equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities, and the at most exponential decay of solutions in the whole space or…
We show that two classically known properties of positive supersolutions of uniformly elliptic PDEs, the boundary point principle (Hopf lemma) and global integrability, can be quantified with respect to each other. We obtain an extension to…
We give a simple proof of the strong maximum principle for viscosity subsolutions of fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on the form $$ F(x,u,Du,D^2u) = 0 $$ under suitable structure conditions on the equation allowing for non-Lipschitz growth in…
We describe a new method of proving a priori bounds for positive supersolutions and solutions of superlinear elliptic PDE, based on global weak Harnack inequalities and a quantitative Hopf lemma. Novel results based on the method include:…
We revisit the classical theory of linear second-order uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form whose solutions have H\"older continuous gradients, and prove versions of the generalized maximum principle, the $C^{1,\alpha}$-estimate,…
We study unbounded weak supersolutions of elliptic partial differential equations with generalized Orlicz (Musielak--Orlicz) growth. We show that they satisfy the weak Harnack inequality with optimal exponent provided that they belong to a…
A classical counterexample due to E. De Giorgi, shows that the weak maximum principle does not remain true for general linear elliptic differential systems. After that, there are some efforts to establish the weak maximum principle for…
We establish the existence of weak solutions of a nonlinear radiation-type boundary value problem for elliptic equation on divergence form with discontinuous leading coefficient. Quantitative estimates play a crucial role on the real…
The strong maximum principle is proved to hold for weak (in the sense of support functions) sub- and super-solutions to a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations that includes the mean curvature equation for $C^0$ spacelike hypersurfaces…
We extend and improve the results in \cite{DK16}: showing that weak solutions to full elliptic equations in divergence form with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions are continuously differentiable up to the boundary when the leading…
We extend some classical results dealing with boundary Harnack inequatilities to a class of quasilinear elliptic equations and derive some new estimates for solutions of such equations with an isolated singularity on the boundary of a…
We provide a proof of strong maximum and minimum principles for fully nonlinear uniformly parabolic equations of second order. The approach is of parabolic nature, slightly differs from the earlier one proposed by L. Nirenberg and does not…
In this note we consider boundary point principles for partial differential inequalities of elliptic type. Firstly, we highlight the difference between conditions required to establish classical strong maximum principles and classical…
The purpose of this paper is to prove local upper and lower bounds for weak solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the form $-\Delta u= c u^p$, with $0<p<p_s=(d+2)/(d-2)$, defined on bounded domains of $\RR^d$, $d\ge 3$, without…
We reduce the problem of proving decay estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear PDEs to proving analogous estimates for solutions of one-dimensional ordinary differential inequalities. Our machinery allow the ellipticity to…
This paper is concerned with nonlinear elliptic equations in nondivergence form where the operator has a first order drift term which is not Lipschitz continuous. Under this condition the equations are nonhomogeneous and nonnegative…
The weak Harnack inequality for $L^p$-viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear second-order uniformly parabolic partial differential equations with unbounded coefficients and inhomogeneous terms is proved. It is shown that H\"older…
We establish a gradient estimate for a very weak solution to a quasilinear elliptic equation with a nonstandard growth condition, which is a natural generalization of the $p$-Laplace equation. We investigate the maximum extent for the…
