We prove some P\'olya-Szeg\"o type inequalities which involve couples of functions and their rearrangements. Our inequalities reduce to the classical P\'olya-Szeg\"o principle when the two functions coincide. As an application, we give a…

We develop a technique to obtain new symmetrization inequalities that provide a unified framework to study Sobolev inequalities, concentration inequalities and sharp integrability of solutions of elliptic equations

For general varifolds in Euclidean space, we prove an isoperimetric inequality, adapt the basic theory of generalised weakly differentiable functions, and obtain several Sobolev type inequalities. We thereby intend to facilitate the use of…

In this expository paper, we discuss a unified framework for proving various geometric inequalities, based on the so-called Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci technique. Examples include Cabr\'e's proof of the classical isoperimetric inequality in…

This work is concerned with a P\'olya-Szeg\"o type inequality for anisotropic functionals of Sobolev functions. The relevant inequality entails a double-symmetrization involving both trial functions and functionals. A new approach that…

We propose of an improved version of the ubiquitous symmetrization inequality making use of the Wasserstein distance between a measure and its reflection in order to quantify the symmetry of the given measure. An empirical bound on this…

We prove a comparison theorem for the averages of the solutions of two exterior parabolic problems, the second being the "symmetrization" of the first one, by using approximation of the Schwarz symmetrization by polarizations, as it was…

In this paper we prove the Polya-Inequality for integrands depending on a function u and its gradient. We also establish cases of equality in this symmetrization inequality.

The Ehrhard-Borell inequality is a far-reaching refinement of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality that captures the sharp convexity and isoperimetric properties of Gaussian measures. Unlike in the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the…

Using isoperimetry and symmetrization we provide a unified framework to study the classical and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. In particular, we obtain new Gaussian symmetrization inequalities and connect them with logarithmic Sobolev…

In this paper, we develop a theory of symmetrization on the one dimensional integer lattice. More precisely, we associate a radially decreasing function $u^*$ with a function $u$ defined on the integers and prove the corresponding…

In this article, we prove a sharp estimate for the solutions to parabolic equations on manifolds. Precisely, using symmetrization techniques and isoperimetric inequalities on Riemannian manifold, we obtain a Bandle's comparison on complete…

Within the setting of metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, establishing existence of solutions to Dirichlet problem in a bounded domain in such a metric space is accomplished via direct…

We extend an inequality for harmonic functions, obtained in previous research by the authors, to the case of solutions of uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form, with merely measurable coefficients. The inequality for harmonic…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for the nonlinear $p(x)$-Laplacian equation. For axially symmetric domains we prove that, under suitable assumptions, there exist Mountain-pass solutions which exhibit partial symmetry. Furthermore, we show…

We establish a new symmetrization procedure for the isoperimetric problem in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. This symmetrization generalizes the well known Steiner symmetrization in euclidean space. In contrast to the classical…
