Let $\Omega\subset R^"$ be a regular domain. We consider $C^"$ minimizers of the energy $\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^"$ under the constrain $\int_\Omega f(u)=C$ when $f$ is a $C^'$ non-negative function and $u=0$ in $\partial \Omega$. We provide a local correction of $u$ near a particular null-curvature point and conclude geometrical aspects of solutions to some variational elliptic BVP.
