Oct 29, 2022 at 20:49 comment added Willie Wong For general stuff about the maximum principle, the book "The Maximum Principle" by Serrin and Pucci is a standard reference. But probably the notion you are looking for is that of the viscosity sub/supersolution. There are lots of resources you can find about it if you just do a search.

Oct 29, 2022 at 14:53 comment added Willie Wong You also have to be more careful in your second question: as stated it is not true. On the interval $[-1,1]$, both $x^4$ and $x^2$ satisfy $y'' \geq 0$ so are both subsolutions, but they touch tangentially at 0. The comparison principles requires comparing the source terms too.
Oct 29, 2022 at 14:52 comment added User1723 Yes sure. Editing this. Thank you Professor.
Oct 29, 2022 at 14:47 comment added Willie Wong The two questions should be asked separately, since your question one is about hyperbolic PDEs and your second one is about elliptic PDEs.

Minor grammar improvement.
