On radially symmetric minima of nonconvex functionals (Q5940329)

The author investigates non convex problems related to functionals of the following type \[ \int_{B_R} [h(|\nabla u|)- f(|x|) G(u)] dx, \] where \(B_R\) is the ball of radius \(R\) centered at the origin. He first proves, under suitable assumptions, the existence of a radially symmetric solution; then, by strengthening the assumptions, he proves uniqueness. Finally, he gives conditions to prove that these radial solutions solve the Euler equation, precising also in which sense.
