[Authors] A. I. Nazarov, N. N. Ural'tseva [Title] Qualitative properties of solutions to elliptic and parabolic equations with unbounded lower-order coefficients [AMS Subj-class] 35B50 Maximum principles 35J15 General theory of second-order, elliptic equations 35K10 General theory of second-order, parabolic equations [Keywords] strong maximum principle, Harnack's inequality, Liouville's theorem, Hopf's lemma. [Abstract] We discuss the problem how "bad" may be lower-order coefficients in elliptic and parabolic second-order equations to ensure the properties listed in keywords to hold true. The answers are given in terms of Lebesgue spaces. [Comments] English, 6 pp. [Contact e-mail] al.il.nazarov@gmail.com
