We develop strong and weak maximum principles for boundary-degenerate elliptic and parabolic linear second-order partial differential operators, $Au := -\mathrm{tr}(aD^2u)-<b, Du> + cu$, with partial Dirichlet boundary conditions. The…

The aim of this paper is to introduce new forms of the weak and Omori-Yau maximum principles for linear operators, notably for trace type operators, and show their usefulness, for instance, in the context of PDE's and in the theory of…

We give a unified approach to strong maximum principles for a large class of nonlocal operators of the order $s\in(0,1)$, that includes the Dirichlet, the Neumann Restricted (or Regional) and the Neumann Semirestricted Laplacians.

We prove the validity of maximum principles for a class of fully nonlinear operators on unbounded subdomains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ of cylindrical type. The main structural assumption is the uniform ellipticity of the operator along…

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…

In this work, we address the questions of existence, uniqueness, and boundary behavior of the positive weak-dual solution of equation $\mathbb{L}_\gamma^s u = \mathcal{F}(u)$, posed in a $C^2$ bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$,…

In this paper, we consider equations involving fully nonlinear nonlocal operators $$F_{\alpha}(u(x)) \equiv C_{n,\alpha} PV \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{G(u(x)-u(z))}{|x-z|^{n+\alpha}} dz= f(x,u).$$ We prove a maximum principle and obtain key…

In this paper, we consider the following non-linear equations in unbounded domains $\Omega$ with exterior Dirichlet condition: \begin{equation*}\begin{cases} (-\Delta)_p^s u(x)=f(u(x)), & x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)>0, &x\in\Omega,\\ u(x)\leq0,…

We study different maximum principles for non-local non-linear operators with non-standard growth that arise naturally in the context of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and whose most notable representative is the fractional $g-$Laplacian:…

We study one-sided nonlocal equations of the form $$\int_{x_0}^\infty\frac{u(x)-u(x_0)}{(x-x_0)^{1+\alpha}} dx=f(x_0),$$ on the real line. Notice that to compute this nonlocal operator of order $0<\alpha<1$ at a point $x_0$ we need to know…
