The analysis of shape optimization problems involving the spectrum of the Laplace operator, such as isoperimetric inequalities, has known in recent years a series of interesting developments essentially as a consequence of the infusion of free boundary techniques. The main focus of this paper is to show how the analysis of a general shape optimization problem of spectral type can be reduced to the analysis of particular free boundary problems. In this survey article, we give an overview of some very recent technical tools, the so-called shape sub- and supersolutions, and show how to use them for the minimization of spectral functionals involving the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, under a volume constraint.

In this paper the free boundary problem for groundwater phreatic surface is represented in the form of a variational principle. It is proved that the flow domain Ω that solves the problem is a minimizer of some functional Λ(Ω). Weak solutions are introduced as minimizers of the lower semi-continuous regularization of Λ(⋅). Within this approach the existence of weak solutions is proved for a wide class of input data.
