Symmetry of minimizers with a level surface parallel to the boundary

Giulio Ciraolo, Rolando Magnanini, Shigeru Sakaguchi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the functional Ω ( v ) = Ω [ f ( | D v | ) - v ] d x , where Ω is a bounded domain and f is a convex function. Under general assumptions on f , Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if Ω admits a minimizer in W 0 1 , 1 ( Ω ) depending only on the distance from the boundary of Ω , then Ω must be a ball. With some restrictions on f , we prove that spherical symmetry can be obtained only by assuming that the minimizer has one level surface parallel to the boundary (i.e. it has only a level surface in common with the distance). We then discuss how these...
