Brezis' radial symmetry conjecture for boundary blow-up solutions

Let fC1(R)f\in C^1(\mathbb R) satisfy the positivity and Keller–Osserman conditions, and let uu be a solution of the boundary blow-up problem studied in the source on the unit ball BRNB\subset\mathbb R^N. A radially symmetric solution depends only on x|x|. Brezis' radial symmetry conjecture. Every such solution uu is radially symmetric. This conjecture concerns whether boundary blow-up solutions in the unit ball must inherit the ball's rotational symmetry. The source attributes it to H. Brezis and supplies no resolution.
