48 results for weak maximum principle

We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

The aim of this paper is to introduce new forms of the weak and Omori-Yau maximum principles for linear operators, notably for trace type operators, and show their usefulness, for instance, in the context of PDE's and in the theory of hypersurfaces.

In this paper, we develop a new mathematical technique which allows us to express the joint distribution of a Markov process and its running maximum (or minimum) through the marginal distribution of the process itself. This technique is an extension of the classical reflection principle for Brownian motion, and it is o…

We provide a probabilistic approach to studying minimal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space.

This coupling is then used …

Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is an outstanding result for solving optimal control problems by means of optimizing a specific function on some particular variables, the so called controls. However, this is not always enough for solving all these problems. A high order maximum principle (Krener, 1977) must be used in o…

We prove that complete submanifolds, on which the Omori-Yau weak maximum principle for the Hessian holds, with low codimension and bounded by cylinders of small radius must have points rich in large positive extrinsic curvature. The lower the codimension is, the richer such points are. The smaller the radius is, the la…
