Symmetry Properties

SynopsisWe prove symmetry properties of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations Δu + f(u) = 0 with Neumann boundary conditions in an infinite sectorial cone. We establish that any positive solution u of such equations in an infinite sectorial cone ∑α in ℝ3 is spherically symmetric if the amplitude α of ∑α is not greater than π.

In this paper, we show that if b(x) ≥ b∞ > 0 in Ω̄ and there exist positive constants C, δ, R0 such that where x = (y, z) ∈ RN with y ∈ Rm, z ∈ Rn, N = m + n ≥ 3, m ≥ 2, n ≥ 1, 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N − 2), ω ⊆ Rm a bounded C1,1 domain and Ω = ω × Rn, then the Dirichlet problem −Δu + u = b(x)|u|p−1u in Ω has a solution that changes sign in Ω, in addition to a positive solution.

In this paper we study the problem of the axial symmetry of solutions of some semilinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains. Assuming that the solutions have Morse index one and that the nonlinearity is strictly convex in the second variable, we are able to prove several symmetry results in Rn and in the exterior of a ball. The case of some bounded domains is also discussed.
