Neumann eigenvalues being non-decreasing with respect to domain inclusion, it makes sense to study the two shape optimization problems $\min\{\mu_k(\Omega):\Omega \mbox{ convex},\Omega \subset D, \}$ (for a given box $D$) and…

We consider shape optimization problems with internal inclusion constraints, of the form $$\min\big\{J(\Omega)\ :\ \Dr\subset\Omega\subset\R^d,\ |\Omega|=m\big\},$$ where the set $\Dr$ is fixed, possibly unbounded, and $J$ depends on…
