Aug 15, 2018 at 16:45 comment added A random mathematician Of course, but we also require $|\nabla u_i|>0$. So your example on unit ball will not be a counter example. What if we require $\partial \Omega$ to be connected? Then I guess there shouldn't be a trivial counter example.
Aug 15, 2018 at 16:38 comment added Willie Wong The unit ball is simply connected. The annulus in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d \geq 3$ is also simply connected. The interval in $\mathbb{R}$ is also simply connected.
Aug 15, 2018 at 15:53 comment added A random mathematician Thank you, Willie. Actually I forgot to mention that $\Omega$ is simply connected. Will there be a counter example under this assumption?
Aug 15, 2018 at 13:51 comment added Willie Wong Basically: your equation fixes the direction but not the magnitude of the gradient, and the magnitude does matter.
