Comments on a Theorem by Ancona
  A C.R. note by Alano Ancona from 1980 is reexamined. Within his line of ideas in the proof two new theorems are constructed. No claim of originality. These are put into the context of later research. One far reaching conjecture is given. The note by Ancona was written to fill the need of Brezis and Browder who were writing a paper on higher order operators.
