Monotonicity formulas in potential theory

Analysis of PDEs 2018-12-11 v3

Abstract

Using the electrostatic potential uu due to a uniformly charged body ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n, n3n\geq 3, we introduce a family of monotone quantities associated with the level set flow of uu. The derived monotonicity formulas are exploited to deduce a new quantitative version of the classical Willmore inequality.
