Symmetry results for the $p(x)$-Laplacian equation

Analysis of PDEs 2012-06-08 v1

Abstract

We consider the Dirichlet problem for the nonlinear p(x)p(x)-Laplacian equation. For axially symmetric domains we prove that, under suitable assumptions, there exist Mountain-pass solutions which exhibit partial symmetry. Furthermore, we show that Semi-stable or non-degenerate smooth solutions need to be radially symmetric in the ball.
