%0 Journal Article %T Minimizers of a variational problem inherit the symmetry of the domain %A Marcelo Montenegro %A Enrico Valdinoci %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2012 %I Texas State University %X We give a general framework under which the minimizers of a variational problem inherit the symmetry of the ambient space. The main technique used is the moving plane (or sliding) method. %K Minimizers %K PDEs %K symmetry %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2012/145/abstr.html
