Abstract: We consider the minimization problem for an integral functional $J$, possibly non-convex and non-coercive in $W_0^{1,1}(Omega)$, where $Omegasubset{R}^n$ is a bounded smooth set. We prove sufficient conditions in order to guarantee that a suitable Minkowski distance is a minimizer of $J$. The main result is a necessary and sufficient condition in order to have the uniqueness of the minimizer. We show some application to the uniqueness of solution of a system of PDEs of Monge-Kantorovich type arising in problems of mass transfer theory.
