Overview: Investigates the validity of strong maximum principles, compact support principles and Liouville type theorems.Aims to give a unified view of recent results in the literatureThis book demonstrates the influence of geometry on the qualitative behaviour of solutions of quasilinear PDEs on Riemannian manifolds. Motivated by examples arising, among others, from the theory of submanifolds, the authors study classes of coercive elliptic differential inequalities on domains of a manifold M with very general nonlinearities depending on the variable x, on the solution u and on its gradient.
