On derivation of Euler-Lagrange equations for incompressible energy-minimizers. (English) Zbl 1183.35264
The main result of the paper proves that a weak solution $$q$$ of the problem $$\nabla q=\text{div}f$$ posed in $$\mathcal{D}^{\prime }(U,\mathbb{R}^{n})$$ belongs to a Hardy space $$h^{r}(V)$$ for any $$V\subset \subset U$$. Here $$U$$ is a bounded, open, connected and Lipschitz domain of $$\mathbb{R}^{n}$$, $$n\geq 2$$ and $$f$$ is a second-order tensor whose components belong to $$h^{r}(U)$$. Moreover $$q$$ can be locally represented as the sum of singular integrals which involve Calderon-Zygmund kernels and the components of $$f$$. The main tools of this result are the use of mollifiers, $$h^{r}$$-estimates on different singular integrals and the properties of Calderon-Zygmund kernels. The last parts of the paper present applications of this general result to special cases. The authors first consider an incompressible Mooney-Rivlin bulk energy. They here prove the existence of a hydrostatic pressure $$q$$ as solution of the problem $$\nabla q=\text{div}\widetilde{ \sigma }$$ where $$\widetilde{\sigma }$$ is the Cauchy-Green strain tensor associated to the displacement field $$\mathbf{u}$$ which is a continuous and injective local minimizer of the bulk energy. They derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for the solution $$(\mathbf{u},p)$$ with $$p=q\circ \mathbf{u}$$. The last result concerns a partial regularity of area-preserving minimizers.
