Abstract.
We prove local Lipschitz continuity of the solution to the state equation in two kinds of shape optimization problems with constraint on the volume: the minimal shaping for the Dirichlet energy, with no sign condition on the state function, and the minimal shaping for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian. This is a main first step for proving regularity of the optimal shapes themselves.
