    Abstract:

In this paper we study a Dirichlet problem relative to a linear elliptic equation with lower-order terms, whose ellipticity condition is given in terms of the function $ varphi (x)=(2pi )^{-frac{n}{2}}$$ expleft( -leftvert xrightvert ^{2}/2right) $, the density in the Gaussian measure. Using the notion of rearrangement with respect to the Gauss measure, we prove a comparison result with a problem of the same type defined in a half space, with data depending only on the first variable.
