Maximum principle for Δu+ux=0\Delta u+u_x=0 on the unit disc

Suppose u=u(x,y)u=u(x,y) is the solution of the boundary value problem

∂2u∂x2+∂2u∂y2+∂u∂x=0 in {(x,y)∈R2:x2+y2<1},\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=0 \text{ in }\{(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2:x^2+y^2<1\},

u(x,y)=1+2x2y2 on {(x,y)∈R2:x2+y2=1}.u(x,y)=1+2x^2y^2 \text{ on }\{(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2:x^2+y^2=1\}.

Then which of the following statements are true?
