MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Rigidity Estimate for Two Incompatible Wells

Nirmalendu Chaudhuri and Stefan Müller

Abstract

In this article we show that the $L^2$ distance of $\nabla u$ from a single matrix in $K$ is bounded by a multiple of $L^2$ distance from the set $K:=\,SO(n)\cup SO(n)\,H$, $H:={\rm diag}(\lambda_1,\cdots \lambda_n)$, $\lambda_i>0$ with ${\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}(1-\lambda_i)(1-{\rm det}H/\lambda_i)\,>\,0}$, which generalizes the rigidity estimate of Friesecke, James and M\"uller [9] for one well.
