Abstract
In this paper we prove the monotonicity of positive solutions to \( -\Delta _p u = f(u) \) in half-spaces under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, for \((2N+2)/(N+2)< p < 2\) and for a general class of regular changing-sign nonlinearities f. The techniques used in the proof of the main result are based on a fine use of comparison and maximum principles and on an adaptation of the celebrated moving plane method to quasilinear elliptic equations in unbounded domains.
