Strong maximum principle for Schrödinger operators with singular potential

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We prove that for every p>1 and for every potential VinLp, any nonnegative function satisfying Deltau+Vuge0 in an open connected set of mathbbRN is either identically zero or its level set u=0 has zero W2,p capacity. This gives an affirmative answer to an open problem of B'enilan and Brezis concerning a bridge between Serrin-Stampacchia's strong maximum principle for p>fracN2 and Ancona's strong maximum principle for p=1. The proof is based on the construction of suitable test functions depending on the level set u=0 and on the existence of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the Schr"odinger operator with diffuse measure data.
