A comparison result related to Gauss measure
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 334 (2002) no. 6, pp. 451-456.

In this paper we prove a comparison result for weak solutions to linear elliptic problems of the type

-(a ij (x)u x i ) x j =f(x)ϕ(x) in Ω,u=0 on Ω,
where Ω is an open set of n (n⩾2), ϕ(x)=(2π)n/2exp(−|x|2/2), aij(x) are measurable functions such that aij(x)ξiξjϕ(x)|ξ|2 a.e. xΩ, ξ n and f(x) is a measurable function taken in order to guarantee the existence of a solution uH 0 1 (ϕ,Ω) of (1.1). We use the notion of rearrangement related to Gauss measure to compare u(x) with the solution of a problem of the same type, whose data are defined in a half-space and depend only on one variable.

Dans cette note on démontre un résultat de comparaison pour les solutions faibles de problèmes elliptiques linéaires du type

-(a ij (x)u x i ) x j =f(x)ϕ(x) dans Ω,u=0 sur Ω,
Ω est un ouvert de n (n⩾2), ϕ(x)=(2π)n/2exp(−|x|2/2), aij(x) sont des fonctions mesurables telles que aij(x)ξiξjϕ(x)|ξ|2 p.p. xΩ, ξ n et f(x) est une fonction mesurable telle qu'il existe une solution u de (0.1), dans H 0 1 (ϕ,Ω). On utilise la notion de rearrangement relatif à la mesure de Gauss pour comparer u(x) avec la solution d'un problème du même type, dont les données sont définies dans un demi plan et dépendent d'une variable seulement.
