Symmetry results for some overdetermined obstacle problems

We establish symmetry results for two categories of overdetermined obstacle problems: a Serrin-type problem and a two-phase problem under the overdetermination that the interface serves as a level surface of the solution. The first proof avoids the method of moving planes; instead, it leverages the comparison principle and the fact that the solution of the obstacle problem is superharmonic within its domain. The second proof utilizes a suitable version of Serrin’s method of moving planes.
