We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…

A function of a matrix is polyconvex when it can be expressed as a convex function of the matrix minors. Polyconvexity is a regularity condition ensuring existence of minimizers in nonlinear elasticity and, more broadly, in vectorial…
