Abstract
We consider a control problem of optimal design consisting in mixing two electric phases in order to minimize a given objective function. For simplicity, we assume that the two phases are isotropic, although the results still hold true for more general composites (see [CaEtAl08]). Mathematically the problem can be formulated as follows.
Let Ω be a bounded smooth open set in \(\mathbb{R}^N, N \geq 2, \), let α, β, k be positive constants such that \(\alpha < \beta, k < |\Omega|\), and let f be in L 2(Ω). We look for a measurable set ω ⊂ Ω with |ω| = k such that the solution u of
minimizes the functional
where \(F : \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N\) has a growth of order two at infinity and \(G : H^1_0(\Omega)\to \mathbb{R}\) is sequentially continuous in the weak topology of \(H^1_0(\Omega).\).
