We study maximization and minimization problems for the energy integral of a sub-linear $p$-Laplace equation in a domain $\Omega$, with weight $\chi_D$, where $D\subset\Omega$ is a variable subset with a fixed measure $\alpha$. We prove Lipschitz continuity for the energy integral of a maximizer and differentiability for the energy integral of the minimizer with respect to $\alpha$.
Keywords: optimization, regularity., Energy integral, rearrangements.
