Shape optimisation of the maximum of the gradient of the torsion function on convex sets
We analyse the boundary behaviour of the gradient of the torsion function $w_\Om$ in convex domains $\Om\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove that its $L^\infty$-norm is attained at a boundary point and establish the stability of this norm under general (convex) perturbations. For problems of the form $$\sup\{\|\nabla w_{\Om}...
