In this paper we consider a class of sub-elliptic operators $\\mathcal{L}$ in $\\mathbb{R}^N$ and we establish some criteria for an unbounded open set to be a Maximum Principle set for $\\mathcal{L}$. We extend some classical results related to the Laplacian (by Deny, Hayman and Kennedy) and to the sub-Laplacians on stratified Lie groups (by Bonfiglioli and the second-named author).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-27T15:04:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B50", "35J70", "31C05" ], "keywords": [ "sub-elliptic operators", "large sets", "linear second-order pdes", "maximum principle set", "parabolic type" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
