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.
