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…
We consider a spectral optimal design problem involving the Neumann traces of the Dirichlet-Laplacian eigenfunctions on a smooth bounded open subset $\Omega$ of $\R^n$. The cost functional measures the amount of energy that Dirichlet…

We study boundary value problems for bounded uniform domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with non-Lipschitz (and possibly fractal) boundaries. We prove Poincar\'e inequalities with trace terms and uniform constants for uniform…

In this paper we consider a large class of Bernoulli-type free boundary problems with mixed periodic-Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show that solutions with non-flat profile can be found variationally as global minimizers of the…
A new reformulation of a free boundary problem for the Stokes equations governing a viscous flow with overdetermined condition on the free boundary is proposed. The idea of the method is to transform the governing equations to a boundary…
Bernoulli's free boundary problem is an overdetermined problem in which one seeks an annular domain such that the capacitary potential satisfies an extra boundary condition. There exist two different types of solutions called elliptic and…
A Bernoulli free boundary problem with geometrical constraints is studied. The domain $\Om$ is constrained to lie in the half space determined by $x_1\geq 0$ and its boundary to contain a segment of the hyperplane $\{x_1=0\}$ where…
