Abstract
This paper concerns the minimization problem of L2 norm of curl of vector fields prescribed full trace on the boundary of a multiconnected bounded domain. The existence of the minimizers in H1 are shown by orthogonal decompositions of vector function spaces and a constructed auxiliary variational problem. And the H2 estimate of the type II divergence-free part of the minimizers is established by div-curl-gradient type estimates of vector fields.
