Consider the elliptic Dirichlet problem on bounded with a smooth boundary:
Assume that and .
(i) State the strong Minimum-Maximum Principle for uniformly elliptic operators.
(ii) Prove that there exists at most one classical solution of the boundary value problem.
(iii) Assuming further that in , use the maximum principle to obtain an upper bound on the solution (assuming that it exists).
