The paper considers a family of domains \[ Q(v)= \{x\in D\subset \mathbb{R}^n, 0< z< v(x)\}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1},\quad v\in V, \] and seeks for an optimal \(v\) (\(v\) defines the upper base of the cylinder \(Q(v)\)) which minimizes a quadratic functional expressed in terms of solutions of Dirichlet and Neumann problems for a certain linear elliptic equation in \(Q(v)\). By means of the standard changes of coordinates the author reduces this problem to an optimal control problem for the elliptic equation with coefficients depending on \(v\). The author claims, without any proofs, that the reduced problem has a solution. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0978.00018].
