Abstract Let Ω be a ball in ℝN, centered at zero, and letu be a minimizer of the nonconvex functional $$R(v) = \int_\Omega {\tfrac{1}{{1 + |\nabla v(x)|^2 }}dx} $$ over one of the classesC M := {w ∈W loc 1,∞ (∖) ∣ 0 ≤w(x) ≤M inΩ,w concave} orE M := {w ∈W loc 1,2 (Ω) ∣ 0 ≤w(x) ∖M in≤,Δw ∖ 0 inL′(∖)}of admissible functions. Thenu is not radial and not unique. Therefore one can further reduce the resistance of Newton's rotational “body of minimal resistance“ through symmetry breaking.
