Maximum principle for second order elliptic equations and applications

Enforcing the Discrete Maximum Principle for Linear Finite Element Solutions of Second-Order Elliptic Problems

The maximum principle is a basic qualitative property of the solution of second-order elliptic boundary value problems. The preservation of the qualitative characteristics, such as the maximum principle, in discrete model is one of the key requirements. It is well known that standard linear finite element solution does not satisfy maximum principle on general triangular meshes in 2D. In this pa...

Linear Elliptic Equations of Second Order

The classical Schauder type results on C-regularity of solutions are exposed for linear second order elliptic equations with Hölder coefficients. Our approach is based on equivalent seminorms in Hölder spaces C, which are similar to seminorms introduced by S. Campanato [1]. Under this approach, the C-estimates for solutions are derived from the maximum principle and the interior smoothness of h...

Linear Elliptic Equations of Second Order

3 4 CONTENTS Preface These lecture notes are intented as an introduction to linear second order elliptic partial differential equations. It can be considered as a continuation of a chapter on elliptic equations of the lecture notes [17] on partial differential equations. In [17] we focused our attention mainly on explicit solutions for standard problems for elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic eq...

Perturbing Fully Nonlinear Second Order Elliptic Equations

We present two types of perturbations with reverse effects on some scalar fully nonlinear second order elliptic differential operators: on the other hand, first order perturbations which destroy the global solvability of the Dirichlet problem, in smooth bounded domains of Rn; on the other hand, an integral perturbation which restore the local solvability, on compact connected manifolds without ...
