AbstractThe aim of this article is to prove a symmetry result for several overdetermined boundary value problems. For the two first problems, our method combines the maximum principle with the monotonicity of the mean curvature. For the others, we use essentially the compatibility condition of the Neumann problem.

We study a class of initial-boundary-value problems for which an auxiliary condition of the form is prescribed. We determine bounds on an energy expression by means of differential inequalities and derive pointwise bounds for the solution and its gradient by use of a parabolic maximum principle.

In this paper we investigate a class of boundary value problems for the Monge-Ampère equation [Formula: see text] where Ω is a strictly convex bounded domain in RN, N≥2. When f=g(u)h(|∇u|2) with g and h satisfying the differential inequality [Formula: see text] we show in Sec. 2 that the function [Formula: see text] takes its maximum value on the boundary ∂Ω. This maximum principle generalizes a recent result of Ma who investigated the case f= const in R2. In Sec. 3 we investigate symmetry properties of u under specific boundary conditions or geometry of Ω.
