On the optimal shape of a thin insulating layer

Analysis of PDEs 2024-05-24 v1

Abstract

We are interested in the thermal insulation of a bounded open set Ω\Omega surrounded by a set whose thickness is locally described by εh\varepsilon h, where hh is a non-negative function defined on the boundary Ω\partial\Omega. We study the problem in the limit for ε\varepsilon going to zero using a first-order asymptotic development by Γ\Gamma-convergence.
