A celebrated result by Gidas, Ni & Nirenberg asserts that positive classical solutions, decaying at infinity, to semilinear equations $\Delta u +f(u)=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ must be radial and radially decreasing. In this paper, we consider…
We solve a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^N $ with respect to weights that are powers of the distance to the origin. For instance we show that if $k\in [0,1]$, then among all smooth sets $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R} ^N$ with…
