Abstract
The differentiability of a potential energy with respect to variable domains in a nonlinear problem is shown as the differentiability of a functional with respect to a parameter using convex analysis in Banach spaces, where the parameter stands for mappings from a reference domain. We apply the abstract result to the differentiability of the p-Laplacian with respect to domains. The results are demonstrated within the framework of weak solution in view of the applications to fracture problems.
