Abstract: This paper concerns rigidity results to Serrin's overdetermined problem in an epigraph ${\displaystyle }$ {�egin{aligned} &Delta u+ f(u)=0, {in} Omega={(x^prime,x_n): x_n>varphi (x^prime)},\ &u>0, {in} Omega,\ &u=0, {on} partialOmega,\ &| abla u|=const. {on} partialOmega. end{aligned}. ${\displaystyle }$ We prove that up to isometry the epigraph must be an half space and that the solution $u$ must be one-dimensional, provided that one of the following assumptions are satisfied: either $n=2$; or $varphi$ is globally Lipschitz, or $nleq8$ and $fracpartialupartial{x}_n>0$ in $Omega$. In view of the counterexample constructed in cite{DPW} in dimensions $ngeq9$ this result is optimal. This partially answers a conjecture of Berestycki, Caffarelli and Nirenberg cite{BCN}.
