In the present work we present a general framework which guarantees the existence of optimal domains for isoperimetric problems within the class of $C^{1,1}$-regular domains satisfying a uniform ball condition as long as the desired…

For an isentropic (thus compressible) flow, fluid trajectories are considered as orbits of a family of one parameter, smooth, orientation preserving and nonsingular diffeomorphisms on a compact and smooth-boundary domain in the Euclidian…

We prove that there exists a bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf{R}^3$ of fixed volume that minimizes the first positive curl eigenvalue among all other bounded convex domains of the same volume. We show that this optimal domain…

We generalize the shape optimization problem for the existence of stable equilibrium configurations of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystal drops surrounded by an isotropic solution to include a broader family of admissible domains with…

In this paper, we study a shape optimization problem for the torsional energy associated with a domain contained in an infinite cylinder, under a volume constraint. We prove that a minimizer exists for all fixed volumes and show some of its…

A topological space is domain-representable (or, has a domain model) if it is homeomorphic to the maximal point space $\mbox{Max}(P)$ of a domain $P$ (with the relative Scott topology). We first construct an example to show that the set of…

In this paper, we introduce a new shape functional defined for toroidal domains that we call harmonic helicity, and study its shape optimization. Given a toroidal domain, we consider its associated harmonic field. The latter is the magnetic…

In this work we prove some Hardy-Poincar\'{e} inequalities with quadratic singular potentials localized on the boundary of a smooth domain. Then, we consider conical domains with vertex on the singularity and we show upper and lower bounds…

The isoperimetric problem asks for the maximum area of a region of given perimeter. It is natural to consider other measurements of a region, such as the diameter and width, and ask for the extreme value of one when another is fixed. The…

We prove an existence result for solutions to the stationary Euler equations in a domain with nonsmooth boundary. This is an extension of a previous existence result in smooth domains by Alber (1992). The domains we consider have a boundary…

We are interested in the optimization of convex domains under a PDE constraint. Due to the difficulties of approximating convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the restriction to rotationally symmetric domains is used to reduce shape…

We consider shape optimization problems for elasticity systems in architecture. A typical question in this context is to identify a structure of maximal stability close to an initially proposed one. We show the existence of such an…

We establish a quantitative version of the isoperimetric inequality for the torsion of multiply connected domains, among sets with given area and with given joint area of the holes. Since the optimal shape is the annulus, we investigate how…

We say that a bounded domain $\Omega$ is optimal for the first positive curl eigenvalue $\mu_1(\Omega)$ if $\mu_1(\Omega)\leq \mu_1(\Omega')$ for any domain $\Omega'$ with the same volume. In spite of the fact that $\mu_1(\Omega)$ is…

We consider an isoperimetric problem involving the smallest positive and largest negative curl eigenvalues on abstract ambient manifolds, with a focus on the standard model spaces. We in particular show that the corresponding eigenvalues on…

In this paper we consider a shape optimization problem in which the data in the cost functional and in the state equation may change sign, and so no monotonicity assumption is satisfied. Nevertheless, we are able to prove that an optimal…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

We prove general theorems for isoperimetric problems on lattices of the form ${\mathbb{Z}}^{k} \times {\mathbb{N}}^{d}$ which state that the perimeter of the optimal set is a monotonically increasing function of the volume under certain…

In this note, we provide a complete classification for entire area maximizing hypersurfaces having an isolated singularity. We also construct an interesting illustrated example. For area maximizing hypersurfaces over exterior domains, we…
