For a domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) the author considers the problem of minimizing the functional \[ E(u,A)= \int_\Omega \sigma_A|\nabla u|^2 dx- 2 \int_\Omega fu dx+ P_\Omega(A)+ C|A| \] among functions \(u\in H^1_0(\Omega)\) and measurable sets \(A\), \(P_\Omega(A)\) denoting the perimeter of \(A\) in \(\Omega\), \(|A|\) is Lebesgue's measure of the set \(A\), and \(\sigma_A\) is equal to \(1\) in \(A\) and \(\sigma_A\equiv L>1\) on the complement of \(A\). The energy \(E\) naturally occurs in optimal design theory of composites of two materials, and it is shown that the distance between any two components of either material is positive away from the boundary.
