The Given

AbstractThe maximum principle forms an important qualitative property of second-order elliptic equations; therefore, its discrete analogues, the so-called discrete maximum principles (DMPs), have drawn much attention owing to their role in reinforcing the qualitative reliability of the given numerical scheme. In this paper DMPs are established for nonlinear finite element problems on surfaces with boundary, corresponding to the classical pointwise maximum principles on Riemannian manifolds in the spirit of Pucci & Serrin (2007, The Maximum Principle. Springer). Various real-life examples illustrate the scope of the results.

The Maximum Principle

This paper is concerned with obtaining stress estimates for the problem of axisymmetric torsion of thin elastic shells of revolution subject to self-equilibrated end loads. The results are obtained in the form of explicit pointwise stress bounds exhibiting an exponential decay with distance from the ends, thus supplying a quantitative characterization of Saint-Venant’s principle for this problem. In contrast to arguments using energy inequalities, here we apply a technique, recently developed by the authors, based on the maximum principle for second-order uniformly elliptic equations.

Second Order Elliptic Equations

We prove, under very general structure conditions, that continuous viscosity subsolutions of nonlinear second-order elliptic equations possess second order superdifferentials almost everywhere. Consequently we deduce the twice differentiability almost everywhere of viscosity solutions. The main idea of the proof is the backwards use of the Aleksandrov maximum principle as invoked in a previous work of Nadirashvili on sequences of solutions of linear elliptic equations.

Regularity Results

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.
