Abstract

In this paper we analyze the relaxed form of a shape optimization problem with state equation $$ \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -div\big(a(x)Du\big)=f\qquad\hbox{in }D\\ \hbox{boundary conditions on }\partial D. \end{array} \right. \end{equation} $$ The new fact is that the term $f$ is only known up to a random perturbation $\xi(x,\omega)$. The goal is to find an optimal coefficient $a(x)$, fulfilling the usual constraints $\alpha\le a\le\beta$ and $\displaystyle\int_D a(x)\,dx\le m$, which minimizes a cost function of the form $$\int_\Omega\int_Dj\big(x,\omega,u_a(x,\omega)\big)\,dx\,dP(\omega).$$ Some numerical examples are shown in the last section, which evidence the previous analytical results.
