Chapter of the book Shape Optimization and Spectral Theory edited by Antoine Henrot and published by De Gruyter
Abstract:
In this paper, we review known results and open problems on the question of regularity of the optimal shapes for minimization problems of the form
\[\min\left\{\lambda_k(\Omega), \;\Omega\subset D,
\Omega
=a\right\}\]
where $D$ is an open set in $R^d$, $a\in(0,
D
)$, $k\in \mathbb{N}^*$ and $\lambda_k(\Omega)$ denotes the $k$-th eigenvalue of the
Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also discuss some related problems
involving $\lambda_k$, but leading to singular optimal shapes.
This text is a reproduction of the third chapter of the book “Shape optimization and Spectral
theory” (De Gruyter) edited by A. Henrot.
