Weak maximum principle with a nonnegative potential #

For the equation -div (a grad u) + (alpha + q) u = 0 with alpha > 0 and q >= 0, a solution whose positive part above a nonnegative level has zero trace is bounded by that level. The proof tests the equation with the truncation itself: the elliptic term is nonnegative on the superlevel set and the mass term is bounded below by the square of the truncation.

Main results #

The zero-trace witness of a positive-part truncation, as a test function.

    The truncation test has the expected value.

    Weak maximum principle: a solution of -div (a grad u) + (alpha + q) u = 0 whose positive part above a nonnegative level has zero trace lies below that level almost everywhere.
