Abstract

I. A few problems of the search for an optimal domain can be formulated as follows. Let Ω be an open bounded set of <inline>1</inline> (N = 2 or 3 in general).

This article is a translation of an article originally written in French entitled Problèmes de contrôle des coefficients dans des équations aux dérivées partielles, published in Control Theory, Numerical Methods and Computer Systems Modelling (Proceedings IRIA 1974), A. Bensoussan and J.-L. Lions, eds., Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, 107, Springer-Verlag, (1975), 420–426. The original article was signed only by L. Tartar who delivered the lecture in which he presented joint work that we were performing at that time. We prefer to present its English translation with our both names.
