Uniqueness and radial symmetry for an inverse elliptic equation

We consider an inverse rearrangement semilinear partial differential equation in a 2-dimensional ball and show that it has a unique maximizing energy solution. The solution represents a confined steady flow containing a vortex and passing over a seamount. Our approach is based on a rearrangement var...

Description
Summary:We consider an inverse rearrangement semilinear partial differential equation in a 2-dimensional ball and show that it has a unique maximizing energy solution. The solution represents a confined steady flow containing a vortex and passing over a seamount. Our approach is based on a rearrangement variational principle extensively developed by G. R. Burton.
