abstract
This paper focuses on establishing the existence of a class of steady solutions, termed least total curvature solutions, to the incompressible Euler system in a strip. The solutions obtained in this paper complement the least total curvature solutions already known. Our approach employs a minimization procedure to identify a monotone heteroclinic solution for a conveniently chosen semilinear elliptic PDE. This method also enables us to construct positive and monotone (and consequently stable) solutions to semilinear elliptic PDEs with non-convex superlevel sets in a strip domain. This can be regarded as a negative answer to a generalized problem raised in [27].
