We examine a Dirichlet boundary value problem of elliptic type which serves as a model for a stationary heat conduction in nonlinear, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic media. We prove a comparison principle and obtain the maximum principle as a direct consequence. We also show that the standard trilinear finite elements do not preserve a discrete maximum principle.
