In this paper, we prove the N-barrier maximum principle, which extends the result in [5] from linear diffusion equations to nonlinear diffusion equations, for a wide class of degenerate elliptic systems of porous medium type. The N-barrier…

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 prove a comparison principle for local weak solutions to a class of widely degenerate elliptic equations of the form \begin{equation} -\text{div} \left( \left(|Du|-1 \right)^{p-1}_+\frac{Du}{|Du|} \right) = f(x,u) \qquad \text{ in }…

We consider degenerated nonlinear PDE of elliptic type: $$ - \mathrm{div}(a(|x|)|\nabla w(x)|^{p-2} \nabla w(x)) + h(|x|,w(x),\langle\nabla w(x),\frac{x}{|x|}\rangle)=\phi(w(x)), $$ where $x$ belongs to the ball in $\bf{R}^n$. Using the…
