Abstract: For Omega varying among open bounded sets in mathbbRn, we consider shape functionals J(Omega) defined as the infimum over a Sobolev space of an integral energy of the kind intOmega[f(ablau)+g(u)], under Dirichlet or Neumann conditions on partialOmega. Under fairly weak assumptions on the integrands f and g, we prove that, when a given domain Omega is deformed into a one-parameter family of domains Omegavarepsilon through an initial velocity field VinW1,infty(mathbbRn,mathbbRn), the corresponding shape derivative of J at Omega in the direction of V exists. Under some further regularity assumptions, we show that the shape derivative can be represented as a boundary integral depending linearly on the normal component of V on partialOmega. Our approach to obtain the shape derivative is new, and it is based on the joint use of Convex Analysis and Gamma-convergence techniques. It allows to deduce, as a companion result, optimality conditions in the form of conservation laws.
