We consider the equal sum partition problem, motivated by distance magic graph labeling: Given $n,k \in \N$ such that $k\, | \sum_{i=1}^ni$ and a partition $p_1+\cdots+p_k=n$, when is it possible to find a partition of the set…

Our concern is the computation of optimal shapes in problems involving $\(-\Delta)^{1/2}$. We focus on the energy $J(\Omega)$ associated to the solution $u\_\Omega$ of the basic Dirichlet problem $(-\Delta)^{1/2} u\_\Omega = 1$ in $\Omega$,…
