Gamma-star-shapedness for semilinear elliptic equations
A generic semilinear equation in a star-shaped ring is considered. Any
solution bounded between its boundary values is shown to be decreasing along
rays starting from the origin, provided that a structural condition is
satisfied. A corresponding property for the product between the solution and a
(positive) power of $|x|$ is also investigated. Applications to the
Emden-Fowler and the Liouville equation are developed.
