      Optimal shapes and masses, and optimal transportation problems (English)
      0 references
      In this nice survey the authors present first a number of classical shape optimization problems such as the isoperimetric problem, Newton's problem of minimal resistance, optimal mixtures of two conductors etc. Then they discuss mass optimization problems and optimal transportation problems and their relationship. Finally, they present some open problems, for instance a problem from urban planning: find a curve (a bus route) in a plane domain that is not too long and has short (weighted) distance to every point in the domain. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1013.00028].
