Optimal measures for the fundamental gap of Schrödinger operators
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 16 (2010) no. 1, pp. 194-205.

We study the potential which minimizes the fundamental gap of the Schrödinger operator under the total mass constraint. We consider the relaxed potential and prove a regularity result for the optimal one, we also give a description of it. A consequence of this result is the existence of an optimal potential under L1 constraints.
