## Steiner symmetrization for concave semilinear elliptic and parabolic equations and the obstacle problem

Received  September 2014 Revised  January 2015 Published  November 2015

We extend some previous results in the literature on the Steiner rearrangement of linear second order elliptic equations to the semilinear concave parabolic problems and the obstacle problem.
