On the existence of convex classical solutions to multilayer fluid problems in arbitrary space dimensions

Andrew French Acker

Vol. 162 (1994), No. 2, 201–231
Abstract

We study certain multilayer free-boundary problems, in which the layer interfaces constitute a nested family of convex closed surfaces, each characterized by a Bernoulli joining condition between the potentials in the neighboring layers. In this context, we develop convex variational methods based on a family of convexity-preserving free-boundary perturbation operators, and we apply these methods in the study of the existence of convex solutions.
