Nella prima parte di questa Nota si dimostrano dei risultati di simmetria unidimensionale e radiale per le soluzioni di in . Questi risultati sono legati a due congetture (De Giorgi, 1978 e Gibbons, 1994) riguardanti la classificazione delle soluzioni dell’equazione in . Si dimostra, in particolare, la seguente generalizzazione della congettura di Gibbons: se e se l’insieme degli zeri di è limitato nella direzione , allora , ovvero, è unidimensionale. Nella seconda parte si considerano le equazioni di reazione-convezione-diffusione del tipo in e si dimostrano dei risultati di monotonia e simmetria che, una volta combinati, conducono ad un’altra generalizzazione della congettura di Gibbons.
In the first part of this Note we prove one-dimensional and radial symmetry results for solutions of in Simmetria delle soluzioni di equazioni ellittiche semilineari in . These results are connected with two conjectures (De Giorgi, 1978 and Gibbons, 1994) about the classification of solutions of the equation in . In particular we prove a stronger version of Gibbons' conjecture in any dimension , namely: if the set of zeros of is bounded with respect to one direction, say , then is one-dimensional, i.e., . In the second part we consider the reaction-convection-diffusion equations of type in and prove monotonicity and symmetry results which, when combined, lead to another stronger version of Gibbons’s conjecture in any dimension.
