Symmetrization with respect to the anisotropic perimeter and applications (Q889943)

In the interesting paper under review, the authors introduce a new type of symmetrization which preserves the anisotropic perimeter of the level sets of a suitable concave smooth function. As result, they prove sharp comparison results for solutions to a class of homogeneous Dirichlet problems for second order, fully nonlinear elliptic operators of the form \(\text{det\,}\nabla_\xi^2 F(\nabla u) \text{det\,}\nabla^2 u,\) \(F(\xi)=\frac{1}{2}H(\xi)^2\) for a smooth norm \(H\) in \(\mathbb{R}^2,\) as well as for suitable anisotropic Hessian integrals.
