λ0 = λ0(1, P, Ω) := sup{λ ∈ R : ∃u > 0 s.t. (P − λ)u ≥ 0 in Ω}, where 1 is the constant function on Ω, taking at any point x ∈ Ω the value 1. Using the Krein-Rutman theorem, the author proved in [13, 14] generalized maximum principles and anti-maximum principles (in brief, GMPs and AMPs, respectively) for the problem (P − λ)uλ = f 0 in Ω. (1.1) In particular, these GMPs and AMPs (without weight...
