Berestycki–Caffarelli–Nirenberg conjecture on symmetry in the half-space
Berestycki–Caffarelli–Nirenberg conjecture on symmetry in the half-space
Let , let , and consider positive bounded classical solutions of
Berestycki–Caffarelli–Nirenberg conjecture. (i) If there is a positive bounded solution of this problem, then depends only on ; consequently, and . (ii) In particular, if on , then the problem has no positive bounded solution. This is a symmetry and one-dimensionality conjecture for elliptic equations in a half-space. The supplied text attributes it to Berestycki, Caffarelli and Nirenberg, but gives no resolution status.
