We consider the problem of minimising the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the hessian over a class of maps, subject to a mass constraint involving the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the gradient and the map itself. We assume zeroth and…
Starting from the hyperoctahedral multivariate hypergeometric function of Heckman and Opdam (associated with the $BC_n$ root system), we arrive -- via partial confluent limits in the sense of Oshima and Shimeno -- at solutions of the…
