In 2003, Mark Levi asked for a characterization of the smooth potential energy functions on the plane with the property that any point on the plane lies on a level orbit; we call such functions Levi potentials. The basic examples are the radial monotone increasing smooth functions. In this paper we show that any Levi potential that is analytic or has totally path-disconnected critical set must be radial. Nevertheless, we show that every compact convex subset of the plane is the critical set of a Levi potential. A crucial observation for these theorems is that, outside the critical set, the family of level sets of a Levi potential forms a solution of the inverse curvature flow.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":9478,"journal":{"name":"Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reference domain <span>(Omega _{varepsilon })</span> is periodically perforated and is depending on the scaling parameter <span>(varepsilon )</span> which describes the ratio between the size of the whole domain and the small periodic perforations. The mechanical energy depends on the gradient and also the second gradient of the deformation, and also respects positivity of the determinant of the deformation gradient. For the viscous stress we assume dynamic frame indifference and it is therefore depending on the rate of the Cauchy-stress tensor. For the derivation of the homogenized model for <span>(varepsilon rightarrow 0)</span> we use the method of two-scale convergence. For this uniform <i>a priori</i> estimates with respect to <span>(varepsilon )</span> are necessary. The most crucial part is to estimate the rate of the deformation gradient. Due to the time-dependent frame indifference of the viscous term, we only get coercivity with respect to the rate of the Cauchy-stress tensor. To overcome this problem we derive a Korn inequality for non-constant coefficients on the perforated domain. The crucial point is to verify that the constant in this inequality, which is usually depending on the domain, can be chosen independently of the parameter <span>(varepsilon )</span>.
