On $p$-Harmonic Measures in Half Spaces

For all $1 0$ such that the $p$-harmonic measure in $\R^N_+$ of a ball of radius $0 < δ\leq 1$ in $\R^{N-1}$ is bounded above and below by a constant times $δ^{α(p.N)}$. We provide explicit estimates for the exponent $α(p,N)$

There are Asymmetric Minimizers for the One-Dimensional Ginzburg-Landau Model of Superconductivity

We study a boundary value problem associated with a system of two second order differential equations with cubic nonlinearity which model a film of superconductor material subjected to a tangential magnetic field. We show that for an appropriate range of parameters there are {\it asymmetric} solutions, and only trivial {\it symmetric} solutions. We then show that the associated energy function is negative for the asymmetric solutions, and zero for the trivial symmetric solution. It follows that a global minimizer of the energy is asymmetric.
