Abstract

In this work, we prove an existence result for an optimal partition problem of the form min{Fs(A1,,Am) ⁣:AiAs,AiAj=\mboxforij},\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 FsF_s is a cost functional with suitable assumptions of monotonicity and lowersemicontinuity, As\mathcal{A}_s is the class of admissible domains and the condition AiAj=A_i\cap A_j =\emptyset is understood in the sense of the Gagliardo ss-capacity, where 0<s<10<s<1. Examples of this type of problem are related to the fractional eigenvalues. In addition, we prove some type of convergence of the ss-minimizers to the minimizer of the problem with s=1s=1, studied in \cite{Bucur-Buttazzo-Henrot}.
