The maximum principle with lack of monotonicity [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2018 We establish a maximum principle for the weighted $(p,q)$-Laplacian, which extends the general Pucci–Serrin strong maximum principle to this quasilinear abstract setting.

A principle of maximum ignorance for semiclassical gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 The principle of maximum ignorance posits that the coarse-grained description of a system is maximally agnostic about its underlying microscopic structure.

Lagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2005 We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints.

A Strong Maximum Principle for Nonlinear Nonlocal Diffusion Equations
Axioms, 2023 We consider a class of nonlinear integro-differential equations that model degenerate nonlocal diffusion. We investigate whether the strong maximum principle is valid for this nonlocal equation. For degenerate parabolic PDEs, the strong maximum principle

Finite element methods respecting the discrete maximum principle for convection-diffusion equations [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2022 Convection-diffusion-reaction equations model the conservation of scalar quantities. From the analytic point of view, solution of these equations satisfy under certain conditions maximum principles, which represent physical bounds of the solution.

Introduction to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for Quantum Optimal Control [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2020 Optimal Control Theory is a powerful mathematical tool, which has known a rapid development since the 1950s, mainly for engineering applications. More recently, it has become a widely used method to improve process performance in quantum technologies by ...

On energy stable, maximum-principle preserving, second order BDF scheme with variable steps for the Allen-Cahn equation [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2020 In this work, we investigate the two-step backward differentiation formula (BDF2) with nonuniform grids for the Allen-Cahn equation. We show that the nonuniform BDF2 scheme is energy stable under the time-step ratio restriction $r_k:=\tau_k/\tau_{k-1}

Arbitrarily high-order exponential cut-off methods for preserving maximum principle of parabolic equations [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2020 A new class of high-order maximum principle preserving numerical methods is proposed for solving parabolic equations, with application to the semilinear Allen--Cahn equation.

The maximum entropy principle for compositional data
BMC Bioinformatics, 2022 Background Compositional systems, represented as parts of some whole, are ubiquitous. They encompass the abundances of proteins in a cell, the distribution of organisms in nature, and the stoichiometry of the most basic chemical reactions.
