A weak solution of the two-dimensional eikonal equation amounts to a vector field $m\colon\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2$ such that $|m|=1$ a.e. and $\mathrm{div}\,m=0$ in $\mathcal D'(\Omega)$. It is known that, if $m$ has some low…

The paper focuses on the $L^{p}$-Positivity Preservation property ($L^{p}$-PP for short) on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. It states that any $L^p$ function $u$ with $1<p<+\infty$, which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ on $M$ in the sense of…
