Abstract In this paper we study a class of one-parameter family of elliptic equations which combines local and nonlocal operators, namely the Laplacian and the fractional Laplacian. We analyze spectral properties, establish the validity of the maximum principle, prove existence, nonexistence, symmetry and regularity results for weak solutions. The asymptotic behavior of weak solutions as the coupling parameter vanishes (which turns the problem into a purely nonlocal one) or goes to infinity (reducing the problem to the classical semilinear Laplace equation) is also investigated.

AbstractWe 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 nonlinear operators, among which Pucci’s extremal operators, some singular operators such as those modeled on the p- and $$\infty $$ ∞ -Laplacian, and mean curvature-type problems. As a byproduct, we establish new strong comparison principles for some second-order uniformly elliptic problems when the manifold has nonnegative sectional curvature.

We consider weak solutions of second-order partial differential equations of Kolmogorov–Fokker–Planck-type with measurable coefficients in the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a symmetric uniformly positive definite matrix with bounded measurable coefficients; [Formula: see text] and the components of the vector [Formula: see text] are bounded and measurable functions. We give a geometric statement of the Harnack inequality recently proved by Golse et al. As a corollary, we obtain a strong maximum principle.
