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…

In this paper we study the maximum principle, the existence of eigenvalue and the existence of solution for the Dirichlet problem for operators which are fully-nonlinear, elliptic but presenting some singularity or degeneracy which are…
This paper investigates the link between the Maximum Principle and the sign of the (generalized) principal eigenvalue for elliptic operators in unbounded domains. Our approach covers the cases of Dirichlet, Neumann, and (indefinite) Robin…

Using three different notions of generalized principal eigenvalue of linear second order elliptic operators in unbounded domains, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of the maximum principle, as well as for the…
We study the generalized eigenvalue problem on the whole space for a class of integro-differential elliptic operators. The nonlocal operator is over a finite measure, but this has no particular structure. Some of our results even hold for…
We consider a "superposition operator" obtained through the continuous superposition of operators of mixed fractional order, modulated by a signed Borel finite measure defined over the set $[0, 1]$. The relevance of this operator is rooted…
We prove a weak maximum principle for nonlocal symmetric stable operators. This includes the fractional Laplacian. The main focus of this work is the regularity of the considered function.
As a class of L\'evy type Markov generators, nonlocal Waldenfels operators appear naturally in the context of investigating stochastic dynamics under L\'evy fluctuations and constructing Markov processes with boundary conditions (in…
