On a boundary value problem in nonlinear theory of thin elastic plates
We consider an energy-functional describing rotating superfluids at a rotating velocity , and prove similar results as for the Ginzburg-Landau functional of superconductivity: mainly the existence of branches of solutions with vortices, the existence of a critical above which energy-minimizers have vortices, evaluations of the minimal energy as a function of , and the derivation of a limiting free-boundary problem.

The paper is devoted to the study of solvability of boundary value problems for the stream function, describing non-viscous, irrotional, subsonic flowes through cascades of profiles in a layer of variable thickness. From the definition of a classical solution the variational formulation is derive and the concept of a weak solution is introduced. The proof of the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution is based on the monotone operator theory.
In this paper we study bounds for the off-diagonal elements of the homogenized tensor for the stationary heat conduction problem. We also state that these bounds are sharp by proving a formula for the homogenized tensor in the case of laminate structures.
