Abstract: A free boundary problem arising from the optimal reinforcement of a membrane or from the reduction of traffic congestion is considered; it is of the form ${\displaystyle }$sup_{int_D heta,dx=m} inf_{uin H^1_0(D)}int_DBig(frac{1+ heta}{2}| abla u|^2-fuBig),dx.${\displaystyle }$ We prove the existence of an optimal reinforcement $heta$ and that it has some higher integrability properties. We also provide some numerical computations for $heta$ and $u$.

Review text

The authors consider variational problems derived from shape optimization and elasto-plasticity, as well as optimal transport without the membrane. Specific problems are tackled in depth: the optimal reinforcement of a membrane, reduction of traffic congestion and elastic-plastic torsion. In the derived free boundary problem, the existence of an optimal reinforcement is proved along with some higher integrability properties, while the defined energy is maximized. Some numerical results are obtained.
