We survey some recent results of the authors on variational and evolution problems concerning a certain class of convex 1-homogeneous functionals for vector-valued maps related to models in phase transitions (Hele-Shaw), superconductivity (Ginzburg-Landau) and superfluidity (Gross-Pitaevskii). Minimizers and gradient flows of such functionals may be characterized as solutions of suitable non-local vectorial generalization of the classical obstacle problem.

Abstract

We survey some recent results of the authors on variational and evolution problems concerning a certain class of convex 1-homogeneous functionals for vector-valued maps related to models in phase transitions (Hele-Shaw), superconductivity (Ginzburg-Landau) and superfluidity (Gross-Pitaevskii). Minimizers and gradient flows of such functionals may be characterized as solutions of suitable non-local vectorial generalization of the classical obstacle problem.
