Variational Problems with Concentration by Martin F. Bach, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

To start with we describe two applications of the theory to be developed in this monograph: Bernoulli's free-boundary problem and the plasma problem. Bernoulli's free-boundary problem This problem arises in electrostatics, fluid dynamics, optimal insulation, and electro chemistry. In electrostatic terms the task is to design an annular con­ denser consisting of a prescribed conducting surface 80. and an unknown conduc­ tor A such that the electric field 'Vu is constant in magnitude on the surface 8A of the second conductor (Figure 1.1). This leads to the following free-boundary problem for the electric potential u. - | Variational Problems with Concentration by Martin F. Bach, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
