Maximum principles in context of PDEs (35B50) Subelliptic equations (35H20)

Abstract: We extend Bony's propagation of support argument cite{Bony} to $C^1$ solutions of the non-homogeneous sub-elliptic $p-$Laplacian associated to a system of smooth vector fields satisfying H"ormander's finite rank condition. As a consequence we prove a strong maximum principle and strong comparison principle that generalize results of Tolksdorf cite{Tolksdorf}.
