We present a characterization of ideal knots, i.e., of closed knotted curves of prescribed thickness with minimal length, where we use the notion of global curvature for the definition of thickness. We show with variational methods that for an ideal knot
, the normal vector
at a curve point
is given by the integral over all vectors
against a Radon measure, where
realizes the given thickness. As geometric consequences we obtain in particular, that points without contact lie on straight segments of
, and for points
with exactly one contact point
we have that
points exactly into the direction of
Moreover, isolated contact points lie on straight segments of
, and curved arcs of
consist of contact points only, all realizing the prescribed thickness with constant (maximal) global curvature.Received: 1 January 2003, Accepted: 12 March 2003, Published online: 1 July 2003Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):

Given an almost complex structure J in a cylinder of

without boundary in that cylinder, we construct an holomorphic perturbation of

0 of

norms, in a sub-cylinder, are controled by quantities depending on J,
and by the area of

We study the limit behaviour of some nonlinear monotone equations, such as:
, in a domain
which is thin in some directions (e.g.
is a plate or a thin cylinder). After rescaling to a fixed domain
, the above equation is transformed into:
, with convenient operators
and
. Assuming that
and the inverse of
have particular forms and satisfy suitable compensated compactness assumptions, we prove a closure result, that is we prove that the limit problem has the same form. This applies in particular to the limit behaviour of nonlinear monotone equations in laminated plates.Received: 16 October 2002, Accepted: 12 June 2003, Published online: 22 September 2003Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):

Finn and Kosmodemyanskii, Jr. gave an example of a domain
containing a disk

converging to
as
, such that the heights u
t
of capillary surfaces in vertical tubes with the sections
in a gravity field g satisfy
for every

1< u
0 over
for all g > 0. In subsequent work, Finn and Lee characterized the most general convex
that leads to such a discontinuous transition when
is a disk. It has been suggested that the cause for this curious behavior is related to the fact that in all cases considered the boundaries of the
have a discontinuity in their curvatures, that is bounded below in magnitude. In the present note we present an alternative form of the example, in which the domains
are disks concentric to
. Thus, the limited smoothness in the original example of the convergence to
of the approxim
ating domains cannot be viewed as the root cause of the anomaly. The procedure presented here leads to explicit bounds, which were not available in the earlier forms of the example.Received: 3 September 2002, Accepted: 17 February 2003, Published online: 1 July 2003Mathematics Subject Classification:

of the equation
