One-dimensional symmetry results for semilinear equations and inequalities on half-spaces (2509.08431v1)

Abstract: We prove new one-dimensional symmetry results for non-negative solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $ -\Delta u= f(u)$ in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$. Some Liouville-type theorems are also proven in the case of differential inequalities in $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$, even without imposing any boundary condition. Although subject to dimensional restrictions, our results apply to a broad family of functions $f$. In particular, they apply to all non-negative $f$ that behaves at least linearly at infinity.
