In this paper the work of Berestycki, Nirenberg and Varadhan on the maximum principle and the principal eigenvalue for second order operators on general domains is extended to Riemannian manifolds. In particular it is proved that the refined maximum principle holds for a second order elliptic operat

## Abstract We study the properties of the positive principal eigenvalue of a degenerate quasilinear elliptic system. We prove that this eigenvalue is simple, unique up to positive eigenfunctions and isolated. Under certain restrictions on the given data, the regularity of the corresponding eigenfu
## Communicated by G. Franssens We propose a method for solving boundary value and eigenvalue problems for the elliptic operator D = div p grad+q in the plane using pseudoanalytic function theory and in particular pseudoanalytic formal powers. Under certain conditions on the coefficients p and q w
