In this paper we consider a minimization problem which arises from thermal insulation. A compact connected set $K$, which represents a conductor of constant temperature, say $1$, is thermally insulated by surrounding it with a layer of…
We consider the equation $-\Delta_p u=f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n $, where $\Delta_p$ is the $p$-Laplace operator. Explicit examples of unbounded stable energy solutions are known if $n\geq p+4p/(p-1)$. Instead, when…

We consider convection in an internally heated layer of fluid that is bounded below by a perfect insulator and above by a poor conductor. The poorly conducting boundary is modelled by a fixed heat flux. Using solely analytical methods, we…
We study the stress concentration, which is the gradient of the solution, when two smooth inclusions are closely located in a possibly anisotropic medium. The governing equation may be degenerate of $p-$Laplace type, with $1<p \leq N$. We…
We prove that if $p>1$ then the divergence of a $L^p$-vectorfield $V$ on a 2-dimensional domain $\Omega$ is the boundary of an integral 1-current, if and only if $V$ can be represented as the rotated gradient $\nabla^\perp u$ for a…
