The first eigenvalue for the -Laplacian operator.
The aim of this paper is to present two different approachs in order to obtain an existence result to the so-called quadrature surface free boundary problem. The first one requires the shape derivative calculus while the second one depends strongly on the compatibility condition of the Neumann problem. A necessary and sufficient condition of existences is given in the radial case.
This paper deals with an interior electromagnetic casting (free boundary) problem. We begin by showing that the associated shape optimization problem has a solution which is of class C 2. Then, using the shape derivative and the maximum principle, we give a sufficient condition that the minimum obtained solves our problem.
