In this work, we prove an existence result for an optimal partition problem of the form $$\min \{F_s(A_1,\dots,A_m)\colon A_i \in \mathcal{A}_s, \, A_i\cap A_j =\emptyset \mbox{ for } i\neq j\},$$ where $F_s$ is a cost functional with…

This work tackles a class of optimization problems in which fixing some well-chosen combinations of the variables makes the problem substantially easier to solve. We consider that the variables space may be partitioned into subsets that fix…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $k \geq 2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue…

We study the minimizers of \begin{equation} \lambda_k^s(A) + |A| \end{equation} where $\lambda^s_k(A)$ is the $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the fractional Laplacian on $A$. Unlike in the case of the Laplacian, the free boundary of…
