Regularity Results for an Optimal Design Problem with lower order terms

Abstract

We study the regularity of the interface for optimal energy configurations of functionals involving bulk energies with an additional perimeter penalization of the interface. It is allowed the dependence on $(x,u)$ for the bulk energy. For a minimal configuration $(E,u)$, the H\"{o}lder continuity of $u$ is well known. We give an estimate for the singular set of the boundary $\partial E$. Namely we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is strictly smaller than $n-1$.
