Abstract
We study a shape optimization problem involving a solid that is maintained at constant temperature and is enveloped by a layer of insulating material which obeys a generalized boundary heat transfer law. We minimize the energy of such configurations among all with prescribed measure for and , and no topological or geometrical constraints. In the convection case (corresponding to Robin boundary conditions on ) we obtain a full description of minimizers, while for general heat transfer conditions, we prove the existence and regularity of solutions and give a partial description of minimizers.
