Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 334 (2002) no. 6, pp. 451-456.

Dans cette note on démontre un résultat de comparaison pour les solutions faibles de problèmes elliptiques linéaires du type

-(a ij (x)u x i ) x j =f(x)ϕ(x) dans Ω,u=0 sur Ω,
Ω est un ouvert de n (n⩾2), ϕ(x)=(2π)n/2exp(−|x|2/2), aij(x) sont des fonctions mesurables telles que aij(x)ξiξjϕ(x)|ξ|2 p.p. xΩ, ξ n et f(x) est une fonction mesurable telle qu'il existe une solution u de (0.1), dans H 0 1 (ϕ,Ω). On utilise la notion de rearrangement relatif à la mesure de Gauss pour comparer u(x) avec la solution d'un problème du même type, dont les données sont définies dans un demi plan et dépendent d'une variable seulement.

In this paper we prove a comparison result for weak solutions to linear elliptic problems of the type

-(a ij (x)u x i ) x j =f(x)ϕ(x) in Ω,u=0 on Ω,
where Ω is an open set of n (n⩾2), ϕ(x)=(2π)n/2exp(−|x|2/2), aij(x) are measurable functions such that aij(x)ξiξjϕ(x)|ξ|2 a.e. xΩ, ξ n and f(x) is a measurable function taken in order to guarantee the existence of a solution uH 0 1 (ϕ,Ω) of (1.1). We use the notion of rearrangement related to Gauss measure to compare u(x) with the solution of a problem of the same type, whose data are defined in a half-space and depend only on one variable.
