Flow by Gauss Curvature to the Orlicz Minkowski Problem for q-torsional rigidity

Abstract

The Minkowski problem for torsional rigidity ($2$-torsional rigidity) was firstly studied by Colesanti and Fimiani \cite{CA} using variational method. Moreover, Hu, Liu and Ma \cite{HJ00} also studied this problem by method of curvature flow and obtain the existence of smooth solution. In addition, the Minkowski problem for $2$-torsional rigidity was also extended to $L_p$ version and Orlicz version. Recently, Hu and Zhang \cite{HJ2} introduced the concept of Orlicz mixed $q$-torsional rigidity and obtained Orlicz $q$-torsional measure through the variational method for $q>1$. Specially, they established the functional Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequality and the functional Orlicz Minkowski inequality. Motivated by the remarkable work by Hu and Zhang in \cite{HJ2}, we can propose the Orlicz Minkowksi problem for $q$-torsional rigidity, and then confirm the existence of smooth even solutions to the Orlicz Minkowski problem for $q$-torsional rigidity with $q>1$ by method of a Gauss curvature flow.
