Minimizing the so-called "Dirichlet energy" with respect to the domain under a volume constraint is a standard problem in shape optimization which is now well understood. This article is devoted to a prototypal non-linear version of the…

We study the problem of constructing $k$-spectral minimal partitions of domains in $d$ dimensions, where the energy functional to be minimized is a $p$-norm ($1 \le p \le \infty$) of the infimum of the spectrum of a suitable Schr\"odinger…
