  • Abstract

We study the insulated conductivity problem with inclusions embedded in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$. When the distance of inclusions, denoted by $\varepsilon$, goes to 0, the gradient of solutions may blow up. When two inclusions are strictly convex, it was known that an upper bound of the blow-up rate is of order $\varepsilon^{-1/2}$ for $n = 2$, and is of order $\varepsilon^{-1/2 + \beta}$ for some $\beta > 0$ when dimension $n \ge 3$. In this paper, we generalize the above results for insulators with flatter boundaries near touching points.

We study the insulated conductivity problem with inclusions embedded in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$. When the distance of inclusions, denoted by $\varepsilon$, goes to 0, the gradient of solutions may blow up. When two inclusions are strictly convex, it was known that an upper bound of the blow-up rate is of order $\varepsilon^{-1/2}$ for $n = 2$, and is of order $\varepsilon^{-1/2 + \beta}$ for some $\beta > 0$ when dimension $n \ge 3$. In this paper, we generalize the above results for insulators with flatter boundaries near touching points.
