The symmetric decreasing rearrangement $u^*$ of a measurable function is the radial, radially nonincreasing function whose superlevel sets are centered balls with the same measures as those of $|u|$. It preserves $L^p$ norms, and the <Pólya-Szegő inequality> gives $\|\nabla u^*\|_2\leq\|\nabla u\|_2$.
