Consequences of Talenti's inequality becoming equality

Behrouz Emamizadeh, Mohsen Zivari-Rezapour

Abstract:
In this article, we consider the case of equality in a well known inequality for the p-Laplacian due to Giorgio Talenti. Our approach seems to be simpler than the one by Kesavan [6]. We use a result from rearrangement optimization to prove the main result in this article. Some physical interpretations are also presented.
