In this note, we obtain a version of Aleksandrov's maximum principle when the drift coefficients are in Morrey spaces, which contains $L_d$, and when the free term is in $L_p$ for some $p<d$.
Maximum Principles on unbounded domains play a crucial r\^ole in several problems related to linear second-order PDEs of elliptic and parabolic type. In this paper we consider a class of sub-elliptic operators $\mathcal{L}$ in…
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 the present paper we prove estimates on {subsolutions of the equation $-Av+c(x)v=0$}, $x\in D$, where $D\subset \bbR^d$ is a domain (i.e. an open and connected set) and $A$ is an integro-differential operator of the Waldenfels type,…
