Monotonicity and one-dimensional symmetry for solutions of \(-\Delta_{p}u = f(u)\) in half-spaces (Q662841)

From the abstract: ``We prove a weak comparison principle in narrow domains for sub-super solutions to \(-\Delta_{p}u = f(u)\) in the case \(1 < p \leq 2\) and \(f\) locally Lipschitz continuous. We exploit it to get the monotonicity of positive solutions to \(-\Delta_{p}u = f(u)\) in half spaces, in the case \(\frac{2N+2}{N+2} < p \leq 2\) and \(f\) positive. Also we use the monotonicity result to deduce some Liouville-type theorems. We then consider a class of sign-changing nonlinearities and prove a monotonicity and a one-dimensional symmetry result, via the same techniques and some general a-priori estimates.''
