contents We introduce a novel technique for proving global strong discrete maximum principles for finite element discretizations of linear and semilinear elliptic equations for cases when the common, matrix-based sufficient conditions are not satisfied. The basic argument consists of extending the strong form of discrete maximum principle from macroelements to the entire domain via a connectivity argument. The method is applied to discretizations of elliptic equations with certain pathological meshes, and to semilinear elliptic equations.
