Symmetry and convexity of level sets of solutions to infinity Laplace's equation

Edi Rosset

Abstract:
We consider the Dirichlet problem
$-\Delta_\infty u=f(u)$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$
where $\Delta_\infty u = u_{x_i}u_{x_j}u_{x_ix_j}$ and f is a nonnegative continuous function. We investigate whether the solutions to this equation inherit geometrical properties from the domain $\Omega$. We obtain results concerning convexity of level sets and symmetry of solutions.
