Optimal estimates of the field enhancement in presence of a bow-tie structure of perfectly conducting inclusions in two dimensions (Q1720294)

The authors consider the elliptic PDE \[ \Delta u=0, \] on $\mathbb{R}^{2}\setminus\overline{\Omega_1\cup\Omega_2}$, subject to the conditions \[ u=c_j\text{ on }\partial\Omega_j\text{ for }j=1,2 \] and \[ \int_{\partial\Omega_j}\partial_{\nu}u\ ds=0\text{ for }j=1,2 \] and \[ u(X)-h(X)=\mathcal{O}\big(|X|^{-1}\big)\text{ as }|X|\to+\infty. \] The goal is to try to provide some estimates and analysis of $|Du|$ in terms of the quantity \[ \varepsilon:=\operatorname{dist}\big(\Omega_1,\Omega_2\big). \]
