The maximum principle, semicontinuity and nonlinear PDE's

29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1990
Scalar, fully nonlinear, second-order partial differential equations arise in stochastic control and the theory of stochastic differential games. The proper notion of solution of these equations and associated questions of uniqueness of these solutions (subject perhaps to boundary conditions) have evolved in a striking way and have many applications in

Maximum principles for nonlinear elliptic equations in unseparated variables

2011 International Conference on Consumer Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet), 2011
This paper is devoted to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations posed by Schaefer in 1977. We obtain maximum principles for certain functions, which are defined on solutions of the elliptic equations in unseparated variables form. The principles may be used to deduce some bounds on important quantities in physical problems of interest.

Strong maximum principle for nonlinear cooperative elliptic systems

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
In this article is considered the validity of the strong interior and the strong boundary maximum principle for cooperative quasi-linear weakly coupled systems of elliptic PDE’s. The results are obtained via linearization of the system.

A Practical Approach to Nonlinear Estimation by Using the Maximum Entropy Principle

Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, 1986
The problem of estimating the state of a continuous markovian process in the presence of nonlinear observation (nonlinear filtering) may be considered as being completely solved on a theoretical standpoint. All the difficulties arise in the practical applications which require new ways of investigation: search for special approaches related to special ...

Maximum Principle for Nonlinear Cooperative Elliptic Systems on RN

Journal of Partial Differential Equations, 2011
We investigate in this work necessary and sufficient conditions for having a Maximum Principle for a cooperative elliptic system on the whole R^N. Moreover, we prove the existence of solutions by an approximation method for the considered system.

On the maximum and comparison principles for a steady‐state nonlinear heat conduction problem

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 2003
Abstract We examine a Dirichlet boundary value problem of elliptic type which serves as a model for a stationary heat conduction in nonlinear, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic media. We prove a comparison principle and obtain the maximum principle as a direct consequence.

A Discrete Maximum Principle for Nonlinear Elliptic Systems with Interface Conditions

2010
A discrete maximum principle is proved for some nonlinear elliptic systems A recent result is extended to problems with interface conditions The discrete maximum principle holds on meshes with suitably small mesh size and under proper acuteness type conditions In particular, this implies the discrete nonnegativity property under nonnegative data As an ...
