Abstract

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing ΩG(u)dx\int_{\Omega}G(|\nabla u|) dx in the class of functions W1,G(Ω)W^{1,G}(\Omega), with a constrain on the volume of {u>0}\{u>0\}. The conditions on the function GG allow for a different behavior at 0 and at \infty. 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 uu is locally Lipschitz continuous and that the free boundary, {u>0}Ω\partial\{u>0\}\cap \Omega, is smooth.
