Abstract: We show radial symmetry of positive solutions to the H'{e}non equation Deltau=|x|elluq in mathbbRNsetminus0, where ellgeq0, q>0 and satisfy further technical conditions. A new ingredient is a maximum principle for open subsets of a half space. It allows to apply the Moving Plane Method once a slow decay of the solution at infinity has been established, that is lim|x|oinfty|x|gammau(x)=L, for some numbers gammain(0,N2) and L>0. Moreover, some examples of non-radial solutions are given for q>fracN+1N3 and Ngeq4. We also establish radial symmetry for related and more general problems in mathbbRN and mathbbRNsetminus0.
