The starting point of the research carried in the paper under review is the Pólya-Szegő inequality \[ \int|\nabla u^*|^p\, dx\leq \int|\nabla u|^p\,dx\tag{1} \] which holds for every \(p\geq 1\) and \(u\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)\), where \(u^*\) represents the symmetric rearrangement of \(u\). It is known that a kind of converse holds, in the sense that if \(p> 1\) and \[ {\mathcal L}^n(\{\nabla u^*= 0\}\cap\{0< u^*< \text{ess sup\,}u\})= 0, \] then equality in (1) implies that \(u= u^*\). Here the assumption \(p> 1\) is crucial. In the paper the authors study the extension of the Pólya-Szegő inequality to the case of functionals of the form \[ \int A(|\nabla u|)\,dx. \] When the function \(A\) has a linear growth, the correct definition of the functional has to be given on the space BV of functions with bounded variation. The authors study the conditions under which the converse holds, that is a set of conditions on \(A\) and on \(u\) which imply \(u= u^*\) provided \[ \int A(|\nabla u^*|)\,dx= \int A(|\nabla u|)\,dx. \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 1004.00021].
