Synopsis

We consider linear and nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form on Riemannian manifolds with or without boundary. In the former case we impose a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. By making use of isoperimetric inequalities for manifolds, we obtain a priori sharp estimates for the decreasing rearrangement of the solutions to such equations. These estimates enable us to derive bounds for suitable norms of the solutions and of their gradients.
