On a partial differential equation involving the jacobian determinant

Abstract. We study a Dirichlet problem associated to some nonlinear partial di¤erential equations under additional constraints that are relevant in non linear elasticity. We also give several examples related to the complex eikonal equation, optimal design, potential wells or nematic elastomers.
