Abstract

We study the equilibrium states for an energy functional with a parametric force field on a region of a surface under a constraint of geometrical character. We use an improved method, based in Skrypnik’s variational theories [10]. In local coordinates, equilibrium points satisfy an elliptic boundary value problem. This model can be described as the deformation of the elastic medium and membranes.
