It is first shown that the $BMO$-seminorm of the gradient of a vector-valued mapping is bounded above by a constant times the $BMO$-seminorm of the symmetric part of its gradient, that is, a Korn inequality in $BMO$. The uniqueness of equilibrium for a finite deformation whose principal stresses are everywhere nonnegative is then considered. It is shown that when the second variation of the energy, when considered as a function of the strain, is uniformly positive definite at such an equilibrium solution, then there is a $BMO$-neighborhood in strain space where there are no other equilibrium solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-06T01:33:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "74B20", "35A02", "74G30", "42B37", "35J57" ], "keywords": [ "korns inequality", "local uniqueness", "equilibrium solution", "strain space", "constant times" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
