Abstract:

We consider shape optimization problems for general integral functionals of the calculus of variations, defined on a domain $\Omega$ that varies over all subdomains of a given bounded domain $D$ of ${\bf R}^d$. We show in a rather elementary way the existence of a solution that is in general a quasi open set. Under very mild conditions we show that the optimal domain is actually open and with finite perimeter. Some counterexamples show that in general this does not occur.

Keywords: shape optimization, integral functionals, quasi open sets, finite perimeter
