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.

Distributed Order

Distributed-order fractional non-local operators were introduced and studied by Caputo at the end of the 20th century. They generalize fractional order derivatives/integrals in the sense that such operators are defined by a weighted integral of different orders of differentiation over a certain range. The subject of distributed-order non-local derivatives is currently under strong development due to its applications in modeling some complex real world phenomena. Fractional optimal control theory deals with the optimization of a performance index functional, subject to a fractional control system. One of the most important results in classical and fractional optimal control is the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, which gives a necessary optimality condition that every solution to the optimization problem must verify. In our work, we extend the fractional optimal control theory by considering dynamical system constraints depending on distributed-order fractional derivatives. Precisely, we prove a weak version of Pontryagin’s maximum principle and a sufficient optimality condition under appropriate convexity assumptions.

Based on the database from linear stability theory (LST) analysis, a local amplification factor transport equation for stationary crossflow (CF) waves in low-speed boundary layers was developed in 2019. In this paper, the authors try to extend this transport equation to compressible boundary layers based on local flow variables. The similarity equations for compressible boundary layers are introduced to build the function relations between non-local variables and local flow parameters. Then, compressibility corrections are taken into account to modify the source term of the transport equation. Through verifications of different sweep angles, Reynolds numbers, angles of attack, Mach numbers, and different cross-section geometric shapes, the rationality and correctness of the new transport equation established in this paper are illustrated.
