Optimal design problems with fractional diffusions

Abstract

In this article we study optimization problems ruled by $\alpha$-fractional diffusion operators with volume constraints. By means of penalization techniques we prove existence of solutions. We also show that every solution is locally of class $C^{0,\alpha }$ (optimal regularity), and that the free boundary is a $C^{1,\gamma }$ surface, up to a ${\mathcal{H}}^{n-1}$-negligible set.
