%0 Journal Article %T The Capillarity Problem for Compressible Liquids %A Maria Athanassenas %A Julie Clutterbuck %J Mathematics %D 2006 %I arXiv %X In this paper we study existence and regularity of solutions to the capillarity problem for compressible liquids in a tube. We introduce an appropriate space of functions of bounded variation, in which the energy functional recently introduced by Robert Finn can be defined. We prove existence of a locally Lipschitz minimiser in this class. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0612536v1
