Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of maximizers for a certain non-convex energy functional, relative to a class of rearrangements of a given function. Physically, the solution represents a uniform shear flow containing a bounded vortex anomaly, in R2. The prescribed data are the rearrangement class of the vorticity field.
