Abstract: | We describe in a mathematical setting the singular energy minimizing axisymmetric harmonic maps from the unit disc into the
unit sphere; then, we use this as a test case to compute optimal meshes in presence of sharp boundary layers. For the well-posedness
of the continuous minimizing problem, we introduce a lower semicontinuous extension of the energy with respect to weak convergence
in BV, and we prove that the extended minimization problem has a unique singular solution. We then show how a moving finite element
method, in which the mesh is an unknown of the discrete minimization problem obtained by finite element discretization, mimics
this geometric point of view. Finally, we present numerical computations with boundary layers of zero thickness, and we give
numerical evidence of the convergence of the method. This last aspect is proved in another paper.
