Review text

The author considers a shape optimization problem. A functional \(F(u_ A)\), where \(u_ A\) is the solution of a domain dependent differential equation \(E_ A(u)=0\), is to be minimized. In this work, this differential equation is \(-\Delta u= f\) in \(A\subset\Omega\), \(u\in H^ 1_ 0(A)\), where \(f\in L^ 2(\Omega)\). The problem of minimizing the functional \(F(u_ A)\) as a function of \(A\) does not, in general, have a solution. Thus, the author considers a relaxation of the problem in the form \(-\Delta u+ u\mu= f\) in \(\Omega\), \(u\in H^ 1_ 0(\Omega)\cap L^ 2_ \mu(\Omega)\), where \(\mu\) is a suitable nonnegative Borel measure on \(\Omega\), vanishing on all sets of harmonic capacity zero, possibly taking \(\infty\) on some subsets of \(\Omega\). Considering the functional as a function of \(\mu\) an appropriate topology is used to establish existence. Some optimality conditions are also derived. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0754.00025].
