Composite media, almost touching disks and the maximum principle
Abstract
We consider the setting of two disks in a domain in R2 which are almost touching and have finite and positive conductivities, giving rise to a divergence form elliptic equation with discontinuous coefficients. We use the maximum principle to give a new proof of a gradient bound of Li-Vogelius.
