Abstract:

We show that the problem of finding the best mass distribution, both in conductivity and elasticity cases, can be approximated by means of solutions of a $p$-Laplace equation, as $p\to+\infty$. This seems to provide a selection criterion when the optimal solutions are nonunique.

Keywords: p-Laplacian, Mass Transportation Problems, shape optimization, Monge-Kantorovich PDE
