摘要
We apply the Hopf's strong maximum principle in order to obtain a suitable characterization of the complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in a real space form Q(c)(n+1) of constant sectional curvature c. Under the assumption that the mean curvature attains its maximum and supposing an appropriated restriction on the norm of the traceless part of the second fundamental form, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a Clifford torus, if c = 1, a circular cylinder, if c = 0, or a hyperbolic cylinder, if c = -1.
