Abstract

We consider a new type of obstacle problem in the cylindrical domain Ω=D×(0,1)\Omega=D\times (0,1) arising from minimization of the functional Ω12u2+χ{v>0}udx, \int_\Omega \frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2+\chi_{\{v>0\}}udx, where v(x)=01u(x,t)dtv(x')=\int_0^1 u(x', t) dt . We prove several existence and regularity results and show that the comparison principle does not hold for minimizers. This problem is derived from a classical optimal rearrangement problem in a cylindrical domain, under the constraint that the force function does not depend on the xnx_n variable of the cylindrical axis. A mistake in the Theorem 4.2 of the previous version has been found. The statement remains an open problem.
