Vector variational problem with knitting boundary conditions

Analysis of PDEs 2015-07-13 v1

Abstract

We consider a variational problem with a polyconvex integrand and nonstandard boundary conditions that can be treated as minimization of the stress energy during the suturing process in the plastic surgery. Ex- istence of minimizers is proved as well as necessary optimality conditions are discussed.
