The first part of this thesis is devoted to symmetrizations. Symmetrizations are tranformations of functions that preserve many properties of functions and enhance their symmetry. In the calculus of variation they are a simple and powerful tool to prove that minimizers of functionals are symmetric functions. In this work, the approximation of symmetrizations by simpler symmetrizations is investigated: The existence of a universal approximating sequence is proved, sufficient conditions for deterministic and random sequences to be approximating are given. These approximation methods are then used to prove some symmetry properties of critical points obtained by minimax methods: For example if there is a solution obtained by the mountain pass t...
