课程摘要：

We establish a uniqueness result for smooth solutions of nonlinear variational problems with affine boundary conditions motivated from nonlinear elasticity in certain non-starshaped or topologically non-trivial k-starshaped domains under the strictly regular k-quasimonotonicity conditions for the integrands. Examples of non-trivial domains we consider include non-starshaped cylindrical domains which are 1-starshaped and some tubular neighbourhoods of k-dimensional domains in Rⁿwith n > k ≥ 2. We present several examples of strictly regularly 1 and 2-quasimonotone functions defined in the matrix space M^3×3and k-quasimonotone functions defined in more general M^N×nwhich are polyconvex but their gradients are not quasimonotone. These models can either be coercive or non-coercive. The notion of strict regular k-quasimonotonicity fills the gaps between quasiconvexity where k = 0 and uniqueness results hold on starshaped domains, and gradient quasimonotone mappings where k = n and uniqueness is independent of geometry or topology of domain.
