Abstract:

We modify and extend proofs of Serrin's symmetry result for overdetermined boundary value problems from the Laplace-operator to a general quasilinear operator and remove a strong ellipticity assumption in 9 and a growth assumption in 5 on the diffusion coefficient $A$, as well as a starshapedness assumption on the set $ \Omega $ in 4.

Keywords: symmetry, overdetermined boundary problem, isoparametric surfaces, Pohozaev identity
