Regularity of optimal shapes for the Dirichlet’s energy with volume constraint

Similarity:

In this paper, we prove some regularity results for the boundary of an open subset of ℝ d which minimizes the Dirichlet’s energy among all open subsets with prescribed volume. In particular we show that, when the volume constraint is “saturated”, the reduced boundary of the optimal shape (and even the whole boundary in dimension 2) is regular if the state function is nonnegative.

An existence result for a nonconvex variational problem via regularity

Irene Fonseca, Nicola Fusco, Paolo Marcellini (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Local Lipschitz continuity of minimizers of certain integrals of the Calculus of Variations is obtained when the integrands are convex with respect to the gradient variable, but are not necessarily uniformly convex. In turn, these regularity results entail existence of minimizers of variational problems with non-homogeneous integrands nonconvex with respect to the gradient variable. The x -dependence, explicitly appearing in the integrands, adds significant technical difficulties in the...
