Regularity and singularities of Optimal Convex shapes in the plane
Abstract
We focus here on the analysis of the regularity or singularity of solutions to shape optimization problems among convex planar sets, namely: where is a set of 2-dimensional admissible shapes and is a shape functional. Our main goal is to obtain qualitative properties of these optimal shapes by using first and second order optimality conditions, including the infinite dimensional Lagrange multiplier due to the convexity constraint. We prove two types of results: i) under a suitable convexity property of the functional , we prove that is a -set, . This result applies, for instance, with when the shape functional can be written as where involves the area , the Dirichlet energy or the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Dirichlet operator , and is the perimeter of , ii) under a suitable concavity assumption on the functional , we prove that is a polygon. This result applies, for instance, when the functional is now written as with the same notations as above.
