β¦ Synopsis
We study a minimization problem in the space W B where B is the ball of 0 R R radius R with center at the origin; the functional considered is not necessarily convex. Under suitable assumptions, we prove the existence of a radially symmetric Ε½ . decreasing solution. By strengthening the assumptions we obtain uniqueness results. Finally, we study under which assumptions and in which sense the solutions found solve the corresponding Euler equation. The proofs are very direct and " w simple: they only make use of the functions T introduced by the author Arch. n x

The traditional method of analyzing solution structuring ## Ε½ . properties of solutes using atomαatom radial distribution functions rdfs can give rise to misleading interpretations when the volume occupied by the solute Ε½ . is ignored. It is shown by using the examples of O 4 in β£and β€-D-allose t
Radial basis function interpolation has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. For popular choices, for example thin plate splines, this problem has a variational formulation, i.e. the interpolant minimizes a semi-norm on a certain space of radial functions. This gives rise to a function space
If f # L 1 (d+) is harmonic in the space GΓK, where + is a radial measure with +(GΓK)=1, we have, by the mean value property f = f V +. Conversely, does this mean value property imply that f is harmonic ? In this paper we give a new and natural proof of a result obtained by P. Ahern, A. Flores, W. R
