In the paper, we apply the moving plane method to prove that if the right hand sides of equation and Neumann boundary condition are both independent of one variable, the domain and the solution to the Hessian over-determined problem are mirror symmetric. Our result generalizes the previous results on radial symmetry. In the end, we get the mirror symmetry of over-determined problems for more general equations, which include Weingarten curvature equation.
Keywords: $k-$Hessian equation, moving plane method, Mirror symmetry, corner lemma., over-determined problem, Weingarten curvature equation.
