Abstract

We consider shape optimization problems involving functionals depending on perimeter, torsional rigidity and Lebesgue measure. The scaling free cost functionals are of the form P(Ω)Tq(Ω)Ω2q1/2P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)|\Omega|^{-2q-1/2} and the class of admissible domains consists of two-dimensional open sets Ω\Omega satisfying the topological constraints of having a prescribed number kk of bounded connected components of the complementary set. A relaxed procedure is needed to have a well-posed problem and we show that when q<1/2q<1/2 an optimal relaxed domain exists. When q>1/2q>1/2 the problem is ill-posed and for q=1/2q=1/2 the explicit value of the infimum is provided in the cases k=0k=0 and k=1k=1.
