In this note, we shall proof that the Schwarz rearrangement does not decrease the energy for the pseudo p-Laplacian operator, that is, there exist a bounded domain Omega R^N and a function u ¡Ê W_0^{1,p}(Omega)such thatint_{Omega^*}sum_{i=1}^N |partial_{x_i}u^*|^p dx geq int_{Omega}sum_{i=1}^N |partial_{x_i}u|^p dx. %K Schwarz symmetrization %K pseudo p-Laplacian operator. %U http://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/BSocParanMat/article/view/10428/6195
