Abstract

Let Ω ⊂ ℝ2 be a smooth bounded simply connected domain. Consider the functional {Mathematical expression} on the class Hg1={u εH1(Ω; ℂ);u=g on ∂Ω} where g:∂Ω∂ → ℂ is a prescribed smooth map with |g|=1 on ∂Ω∂ and deg(g, ∂Ω)=0. Let u uε be a minimizer for Eε on Hg1. We prove that uε → u0 in {Mathematical expression} as ε → 0, where u0 is identified. Moreover {Mathematical expression}.
