Synopsis

In this paper, we study the converse of comparison results for solutions to linear second-order elliptic equations. Namely, in the inequalities proved by G. Talenti and others, we study the case of equality and prove that “equalities are achieved only in the spherical situation”. We also present some applications of these results to semilinear elliptic equations.
