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.

AbstractThe present paper is concerned with the study of the L2 cohomology spaces of negatively curved manifolds. The first half presents a finiteness and vanishing result obtained under some curvature assumptions, while the second half identifies a class of metrics having non-trivial L2 cohomology for degree equal to the half dimension of the space. For the second part we rely on the existence and regularity properties of the solution for the heat equation for forms.

Abstract We consider a time-dependent problem generated by a nonlocal operator in space. Applying for the spatial discretization a scheme based on $hp$-finite elements and a Caffarelli–Silvestre extension we obtain a semidiscrete semigroup. The discretization in time is carried out by using $hp$-discontinuous Galerkin based time stepping. We prove exponential convergence for such a method in an abstract framework for the discretization in the spatial domain $\varOmega $.

Using distributions theory technique we introduce parabolic potentials for the heat equation with one time-dependent coefficient (not everywhere positive and continuous) at the highest space-derivative, discuss their properties, and apply obtained results to three illustrative problems. Presented technique allows to deal with some equation of the degenerate/mixed type.
