摘要
We consider the minimization problem for an integral functional J, possibly nonconvex and noncoercive in W-0(1,1) (Omega), where Omega subset of 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 the solution of a system of PDEs of Monge-Kantorovich type arising in problems of mass transfer theory. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
