Rearrangements of functions and optimization problems in Orlicz spaces

Yichen Liu, Mohsen Zivari-Rezapour, Behrouz Emamizadeh

Abstract:
We develop the rearrangement optimization theory in the setting of Orlicz spaces. By using this theory, we can investigate the rearrangement minimization and maximization problems related to the boundary value problems containing the \(\Phi\)-Laplacian and the \(\Phi\)-Kirchhoff operator separately. We show the existence of solutions and derive the corresponding optimality conditions for both the minimization and maximization problems. For the maximization problems, we also prove the uniqueness of solutions.
