Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of an optimal set for the minimization of the kk-th variational eigenvalue of the pp-Laplacian among pp-quasi open sets of fixed measure included in a box of finite measure. An analogous existence result is obtained for eigenvalues of the pp-Laplacian associated with Schr\"odinger potentials. In order to deal with these nonlinear shape optimization problems, we develop a general approach which allows to treat the continuous dependence of the eigenvalues of the pp-Laplacian associated with sign-changing capacitary measures under γ\gamma-convergence.
