We consider non-negative solutions \(u:{\Omega }\longrightarrow \mathbb {R}\) of second order hypoelliptic equations$$ \mathcal {L} u(x) =\sum \limits _{i,j=1}^{n} \partial _{x_{i}} \left (a_{ij}(x)\partial _{x_{j}} u(x) \right ) + \sum \limits _{i=1}^{n} b_{i}(x) \partial _{x_{i}} u(x) =0 $$ where Ω is a bounded open subset of \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) and x denotes the point of Ω. For any fixed x0 ∈ Ω, we prove a Harnack inequality of this type$$ \sup _{K} u \le C_{K} u(x_{0})\qquad \forall \ u \ \text { s.t. } \ \mathcal {L} u=0, u\geq 0, $$ where K is any compact subset of the interior of the \(\mathcal {L}\)-propagation set ofx0 and the constant CK does not depend on u.KeywordsHarnack inequalityHypoelliptic operatorsPotential theoryMathematics Subject Classification (2010)35H1035K1031D05References1.Agrachev, A.A., Sachkov, Y.L.: Control theory from the geometric viewpoint, Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences, vol. 87.
