This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of -Laplacian type and a double well potential with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.
We use a Poincaré type formula and level set analysis to detect one-dimensional symmetry of stable solutions of possibly degenerate or singular elliptic equations of the form
Our setting is very general and, as particular cases, we obtain new proofs of a conjecture of De Giorgi for phase transitions in and and of the Bernstein problem on the flatness of minimal area graphs in . A one-dimensional symmetry result in the half-space is also obtained as a byproduct of our...
