We prove that the strong maximum principle holds at points where the function is strictly convex but not necessarily $C^{1,1}$ smooth, and show that it fails at non-strictly convex points. The results we obtain can be applied to various Minkowski type problems in convex geometry by the virtue of the Gauss image map.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-31T08:49:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B50", "35J96" ], "keywords": [ "generalized solutions", "monge-ampère type", "strong maximum principle holds", "minkowski type problems", "gauss image map" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
