Gradient Maximum Principle for Minima

چکیده
We state a maximum principle for the gradient of the minima of integral functionals I (u)G Ω [ f (∇u)Cg(u)] dx, on ūCW 1,1 0 (Ω ), just assuming that I is strictly convex. We do not require that f, g be smooth, nor that they satisfy growth conditions. As an application, we prove a Lipschitz regularity result for constrained minima.

Harnack Inequalities and ABP Estimates for Nonlinear Second-Order Elliptic Equations in Unbounded Domains
In this paper we are concerned with fully nonlinear uniformy elliptic operators with a superlinear gradient term. We look for local estimates, such as weak Harnack inequality and local Maximum Principle, and their extension up to the boundary. As applications, we deduce ABP type estimates and weak Maximum Principles in general unbounded domains, a strong Maximum principle and a Liouville type t...
متن کاملPrinciple Curve Tracing
We propose a principal curve tracing algorithm that uses the gradient and the Hessian of a given density estimate. Curve definition requires the local smoothness of data density and is based on the concept of subspace local maxima. Tracing of the curve is handled through the leading eigenvector where fixed-step updates are used. We also propose an image segmentation algorithm based on the origi...
متن کاملAccepted Manuscript a Constrained Finite Element Method Satisfying the Discrete Maximum Principle for Anisotropic Diffusion Problems
Nonlinear constrained finite element approximations to anisotropic diffusion problems are considered. Starting with a standard (linear or bilinear) Galerkin discretization, the entries of the stiffness matrix are adjusted so as to enforce sufficient conditions of the discrete maximum principle (DMP). An algebraic splitting is employed to separate the contributions of negative and positive off-d...

متن کاملGradient-based nodal limiters for artificial diffusion operators in finite element schemes for transport equations
This paper presents new linearity-preserving nodal limiters for enforcing discrete maximum principles in continuous (linear or bilinear) finite element approximations to transport problems with steep fronts. In the process of algebraic flux correction, the oscillatory antidiffusive part of a high-order base discretization is decomposed into a set of internodal fluxes and constrained to be local...
