In particular, what is known for harmonic

functions? The proof of standard Maximum Principle for

Solutions of Elliptic Systems is based on

Proposition 1: If $B$ is positive definite matrix and $A$ non- positive

definite matrix, then $tr(AB)\leq 0$, where tr denotes trace.

In general $AB$ is not non positive definite matrix.

Are there new techniques which are not essentially based on Proposition 1?

The interested reader can see for example:

[1] D. Khavinson, An extremal problem for harmonic

functions in the ball, Canadian Math. Bulletin 35(2) (1992), 218-220.
