Abstract:
We develop an anti-concentration method for volume-constrained nonlocal shape optimization. Precisely, we apply it to prove the nonexistence of minimizers of an optimal design problem driven by a Hartree-type energy in the large mass regimes. The proof refines and extends the ideas from (Lu-Otto, CPAM 2014), where Lu and Otto dealt with nonexistence of minimizers for the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizsaecker energy. We also establish the asymptotic behavior of the associated isoperimetric profile of the energy.
