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):

Finn and Kosmodemyanskii, Jr. gave an example of a domain
containing a disk
, and of a family of domains
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
, but for which u
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:

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

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):

arbitrary, generalizing a corresponding result of Bianchi and Egnell for the case m = 1. We also show that the manifold of least energy solutions
of the equation
is a nondegenerate critical manifold for the corresponding variational integral. Finally we generalize the results of J. M. Coron on the existence of solutions of equations with critical exponent on domains with nontrivial topology to the biharmonic operator.Received: 21 March 2002, Accepted: 5 November 2002, Published online: 16 May 2003 相似文献

For a smooth harmonic map flow
with blow-up as
, it has been asked [5,6,7] whether the weak limit
is continuous. Recently, in [12], we showed that in general it need not be. Meanwhile, the energy function
, being weakly positive, smooth and weakly decreasing, has a continuous extension to [0,T]. Here we show that if this extension is also Hölder continuous, then the weak limit u(T) must also be Hölder continuous.Received: 1 September 2003, Accepted: 7 October 2003, Published online: 25 February 2004Version of 19/9/03.

Weak limits of graphs of smooth maps
with equibounded Dirichlet integral give rise to elements of the space
. We assume that the 2-homology group of
has no torsion and that the Hurewicz homomorphism
is injective. Then, in dimension n = 3, we prove that every element T in
, which has no singular vertical part, can be approximated weakly in the sense of currents by a sequence of smooth graphs {u
k
} with Dirichlet energies converging to the energy of T. We also show that the injectivity hypothesis on the Hurewicz map cannot be removed. We finally show that a similar topological obstruction on the target manifold holds for the approximation problem of the area functional.Received: 9 May 2003, Accepted: 5 June 2003, Published online: 25 February 2004 相似文献
