Minimizers with topological singularities in two dimensional elasticity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2007
Abstract
For a class of 2-D elastic energies we show that a radial equilibrium solution is the unique global minimizer in a subclass of all admissible maps. The boundary constraint is a double cover of S1; the minimizer u is C1 and is such that $\det\nabla u$ vanishes at one point.
