Topological degree, Jacobian determinants and relaxation

Irene Fonseca, Nicola Fusco, Paolo Marcellini (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

A characterization of the total variation T V u , Ω of the Jacobian determinant det D u is obtained for some classes of functions u : Ω R n outside the traditional regularity space W 1 , n Ω ; R n . In particular, explicit formulas are deduced for functions that are locally Lipschitz continuous away from a given one point singularity x 0 Ω . Relations between T V u , Ω and the distributional determinant Det D u are established, and an integral representation is obtained for the relaxed energy of certain polyconvex functionals at maps u W 1 , p Ω ; R n W 1 , Ω x 0 ; R n . ...

Minimizers with topological singularities in two dimensional elasticity

Xiaodong Yan, Jonathan Bevan (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

For a class of 2-D elastic energies we show that a radial equilibrium solution is the unique global minimizer in a subclass of all admissible maps. The boundary constraint is a double cover of S 1 ; the minimizer u is C 1 and is such that det u vanishes at one point.
