Abstract
We prove energy and density bounds for minimizers of certain constrained variational problems, and we deduce limitations for their topological degree.
Résumé
On démontre des estimations a priori sur l’énergie et la densité des solutions de certains problèmes variationnels contraints, et l’on en déduit des bornes pour leur degréma topologique.
