Extract

This paper is a supplement to [2]. There, solutions ψ., (μ) of certain free-boundary problems, depending on a small parameter μ, are related to the Green function G., (a(μ)) of a second-order, elliptic, partial differential equation defined on a bounded set Ω ⊂ ℝ2. The free boundary is the boundary of a set A(μ) ⊂ Ω that is unknown a priori and corresponds to the cross-section of a steady vortex ring or of a confined plasma in equilibrium, for example.
