Abstract:

We study variational problems involving the measure of level sets, or more precisely the push-forward of the Lebegue measure. This problem generalizes variational problems with finitely many (discrete) volume constraints. We obtain existence results for this general framework. Moreover, we show the surprising existence of asymmetric solutions to symmetric variational problems with this type of volume constraints.
