Abstract: We consider the solution of the torsion problem $-Deltau=1$ in $Omega$ and $u=0$ on $partialOmega$. Serrin's celebrated symmetry theorem states that, if the normal derivative $u_u$ is constant on $partialOmega$, then $Omega$ must be a ball. In a recent paper, it has been conjectured that Serrin's theorem may be obtained {it by stability} in the following way: first, for the solution $u$ of the torsion problem prove the estimate ${\displaystyle }$ r_e-r_ileq C_t,Bigl(max_{Gamma_t} u-min_{Gamma_t} uBigr) ${\displaystyle }$ for some constant $C_t$ depending on $t$, where $r_e$ and $r_i$ are the radii of an annulus containing $partialOmega$ and $Gamm{a}_t$ is a surface parallel to $partialOmega$ at distance $t$ and sufficiently close to $partialOmega$; secondly, if in addition $u_u$ is constant on $partialOmega$, show that ${\displaystyle }$ max_{Gamma_t} u-min_{Gamma_t} u=o(C_t) mbox{as} t o 0^+. ${\displaystyle }$ In this paper, we analyse a simple case study and show that the scheme is successful if the admissible domains $Omega$ are ellipses.
