I have to prove that the operator $Lu=Delta u +u$ does not satisfy the weak maximum principle, i.e. if $u$ is such that $Lu=0$, then $u$ can attain its maximum in the interior of the bounded domain $Omega$ that is considered for $u$.



In the monodimensional case one can simply consider $u(t)=sin (t)$ in $Omega=(0,pi)$ so I tried to adapt it to the general case using for example $u(x_1dots x_n)=sum_i=1^n sin (x_i)$ and prove that its maximum is inside the interior of, e.g. $Omega=(0,pi)^n$.



Is there a more general way to prove it? Thanks in advance.

    One counterexample should be enough in my opinion.
