A Single Phase Variational Problem Involving the Area of Level Surfaces

From MaRDI portal





The author considers the problem of minimizing \(J(u,\Omega)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}F(| \nabla u|)\,dx+\text{Per}(\Omega)\) among all pairs \((u,\Omega)\) of functions \(u\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) and Caccioppoli sets \(\Omega \subset\mathbb{R}^n\) such that \(u\geq 0\), \(E\subset \Omega\subset B_R\), \(u=1\) a.e. on \(E\) and \([u>0]\subset\Omega\) a.e. Here \(E\) is a bounded domain in \(R^n\) satisfying an interior sphere condition and being compactly contained in the ball \(B_R\). Moreover, the integrand \(F\) is assumed to be strictly convex and of growth order \(p\). The paper contains an existence result and gives a careful description of the regularity properties of minimizing pairs.
