Optimal design problems for the first $p-$fractional eigenvalue with mixed boundary conditions

Abstract

In this paper we study an optimal shape design problem for the first eigenvalue of the fractional $p-$laplacian with mixed boundary conditions. The optimization variable is the set where the Dirichlet condition is imposed (that is restricted to have measure equal than a prescribed quantity, $\alpha$). We show existence of an optimal design and analyze the asymptotic behavior when the fractional parameter $s\uparrow 1$ obtaining asymptotic bounds that are independent of $\alpha$.
