Review text

Classical results of some authors, say Gidas, Nirenberg, and others, state that the solution of the boundary problem \[ \Delta u+f(u)=0\text{ in }\Omega,\quad u>0\text{ in }\Omega,\quad u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega \] with a local Lipschitz function \(f:\mathbb{R}^+\to \mathbb{R}\) reflects the symmetries of the operator and the domain. The moving planes method plays an important role in stating these results. While the case of a bounded domain is relatively well studied, there are many open problems and conjectures in the case of unbounded domains. This paper is a lecture on the moving planes method and results of this type for unbounded domains. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0873.00025].
