Optimizing shapes and partitions

We are used to minimize functions depending on real variables. But, in many situations, real life situations correspond to minimizing functions of ... shapes. How and why should we do it? We will explore several examples and see some recent results and open problems, both on Euclidean spaces and on metric graphs. This offers the possibility of a thesis in the topic of Mathematical Analysis & PDE and/or Numerical Analysis.
