A note on Newton's problem of minimal resistance for convex bodies

We consider the following problem: minimize the functional f (∇u(x)) dx in the class of concave functions u : D → [0, M], where D ⊂ R2 is a convex body and M > 0. If f (x) = 1/(1 + |x|^2) and D is a circle, the problem is called Newton’s problem of least resistance. It is known that the problem a...
