Abstract: We consider a PDE-constrained optimization problem governed by a free boundary problem. The state system is based on coupling the Laplace equation in the bulk with a Young-Laplace equation on the free boundary to account for surface tension, as proposed by P. Saavedra and L. R. Scott cite{PSaavedra_RScott_1991}. This amounts to solving a second order system both in the bulk and on the interface. Our analysis hinges on a convex control constraint such that the state constraints are always satisfied. Using only first order regularity we show that the control to state operator is twice continuously Fr'echet differentiable. We improve slightly the regularity of the state variables and exploit it to show existence of a control together with second order sufficient optimality conditions.
