Uniqueness of the pendent drop of infinite length

arXiv:1504.00605

Abstract

We prove the uniqueness of the infinite length axisymmetric solution to the capillary equation. We observe that capillary equation can be viewed, at large depth, as a perturbation of an integrable two-dimensional differential system. Uniqueness is then proved by an elementary perturbation argument.
