Symmetry properties of positive solutions of elliptic equations on symmetric domains

Pages 153-169 | Received 01 Oct 1996, Published online: 02 May 2007
 

Abstract

An improved version of the maximum principle is used to generalize Alexandrov's moving-planes method. Symmetry and monotonicity properties are obtained for positive solutions of second order semilinear elliptic equations in symmetric domains in ℝn as well as in domains in Riemannian manifolds.
