A classical counterexample due to E. De Giorgi, shows that the weak maximum principle does not remain true for general linear elliptic differential systems. After that, there are some efforts to establish the weak maximum principle for…

We obtain local boundedness and maximum principles for weak subsolutions to certain infinitely degenerate elliptic divergence form equations, and the local boundedness turns out to be sharp in more than two dimensions, answering the `Moser…

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 }…

The main result of the paper is on the continuity of weak solutions of infinitely degenerate quasilinear second order equations. Namely, we show that every weak solution to a certain class of degenerate quasilinear equations is continuous.…

We characterize the validity of the Maximum Principle in bounded domains for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic operators in terms of the sign of a suitably defined generalized principal eigenvalue. Here, maximum principle refers to the…

In this paper we study existence and spectral properties for weak solutions of Neumann and Dirichlet problems associated to second order linear degenerate elliptic partial differential operators $X$, with rough coefficients of the form…

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…

We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for smooth subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary.…

We study weak solutions to degenerate quasilinear elliptic equations, involving first order terms, in unbounded tubular domains. In particular we show that, under suitable hypotheses, the weak comparison principle holds if the domain is…

In this paper, we establish the well-posedness of Cauchy problems for weak solutions to second-order degenerate parabolic equations with a non-smooth, time-dependent degenerate elliptic part that includes both bounded and unbounded…

In this paper we investigate maximum principles for functionals defined on solutions to special partial differential equations of elliptic type, extending results by Payne and Philippin. We apply such maximum principles to investigate one…

We investigate strong maximum (and minimum) principles for fully nonlinear second order equations on Riemannian manifolds that are non-totally degenerate and satisfy appropriate scaling conditions. Our results apply to a large class of…

In this paper, authors shall introduce a finite element method by using a weakly defined gradient operator over discontinuous functions with heterogeneous properties. The use of weak gradients and their approximations results in a new…

We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} Lu = f + v^{-1}\text{Div}(v{\bf e} h), & x \in \Omega; u = 0, & x \in \partial \Omega, \end{cases}\] where $L$ is a degenerate, linear, second order…

We present a weak finite element method for elliptic problems in one space dimension. Our analysis shows that this method has more advantages than the known weak Galerkin method proposed for multi-dimensional problems, for example, it has…

We prove a comparison principle for weak solutions of elliptic quasilinear equations in divergence form whose ellipticity constants degenerate at every point where $\nabla u \in K$, where $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ is a Borel set containing…

We develop subrepresentation inequalities for infinitely degenerate metrics, and obtain corresponding Poincare and Sobolev inequalities. We then derive conditions on the degenerate metric under which weak solutions to associated infinitely…

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 consider a class of fully nonlinear nonlocal degenerate elliptic operators which are modeled on the fractional Laplacian and converge to the truncated Laplacians. We investigate the validity of (strong) maximum and minimum principles,…

In this paper we establish a hypoellipticity result for second order linear operators comprised by a linear combination, with infinite vanishing coefficients, of subelliptic operators in separate spaces. This generalizes previous known…
