Abstract:

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth domain in $\mathbb R^2$, we prove that if $g \colon [0,+\infty) \to [0,+\infty]$ is convex with $g(0) < g(t)$ whenever $t > 0$ then there exists an unique minimizer $u \in C^{0,1} (\Omega)$ of the functional $u \mapsto \int _{\Omega} g(
\nabla u
) \,dxdy$ among all Lipschitz-continuous functions that assume the same value of $u$ on $\partial \Omega$.
