Some Overdetermined Boundary Value Problems with Elliptical Free Boundaries

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider overdetermined problems in the plane which only have a solution if the domain \(\Omega\) is an ellipse. An example is the overdetermined torsion problem \[ \Delta u=-2 \text{ in }\Omega, \quad u=0\text{ on }\partial \Omega \] with the additional constraint \[ k\cdot | \nabla u|^2= \text{const.,}\quad k=\text{curvature of }\partial \Omega. \] Further examples are electrostatics and a polarisation problem for an exterior domain, again overdetermined in different ways.
