An optimization problem with volume constraint for a degenerate quasilinear operator

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing ∫Ω | ∇ u |p d x with a constraint on the volume of { u > 0 }. We consider a penalization problem, and we prove that for small values of the penalization parameter, the constrained volume is attained. In this way we prove that every solution u...

Sumario:We consider the optimization problem of minimizing ∫Ω | ∇ u |p d x with a constraint on the volume of { u > 0 }. We consider a penalization problem, and we prove that for small values of the penalization parameter, the constrained volume is attained. In this way we prove that every solution u is locally Lipschitz continuous and that the free boundary, ∂ { u > 0 } ∩ Ω, is smooth. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
