We prove {the first} regularity theorem for the free boundary of solutions to shape optimization problems involving integral functionals, for which the energy of a domain $\Omega$ is obtained as the integral of a cost function $j(u,x)$…

We consider shape optimization problems involving functionals depending on perimeter, torsional rigidity and Lebesgue measure. The scaling free cost functionals are of the form $P(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)|\Omega|^{-2q-1/2}$ and the class of…
