Symmetry properties of positive solutions for semilinear elliptic problems in n are considered. We give a symmetry result for the problem in the feneral case, and then derive various results for certain classes of demilinear elliptic equations. We employ the moving plane method based on the maximum principle on unbounded domains to obtain the result on symmetry.
