Moving plane methods for systems on half spaces (Q943351)

The author proves interesting versions of the moving plane theorem for cooperative systems of the type \[ -\Delta u= f(u,v),\qquad -\Delta v= g(u,v) \] in the half space \(T=\{x\in \mathbb R^N:x_1>0\},\) such that \(u=v=0\) on \(\partial T\). It is assumed that \(f,g\in C^1\) and the system is cooperative, that is, \(\partial f/\partial v\geq0\) and \(\partial g/\partial u\geq0\) for \(u,v\geq0,\) \(f(0,0)\geq0\), \(g(0,0)\geq0\).
