In this paper we shall initiate the study of the two-and multi-phase quadrature surfaces (QS), which amounts to a two/multi-phase free boundary problems of Bernoulli type. The problem is studied mostly from a potential theoretic point of view that (for two-phase case) relates to integral representation
$\int_{\partial Ω^+} g h (x) \ dσ_x - \int_{\partial Ω^-} g h (x) \ dσ_x= \int h dμ \ ,$
where
$dσ_x$
is the surface measure,
$μ= μ^+ - μ^-$
is given measure with support in (a priori unknown domain)
$Ω=Ω^+\cupΩ^-$
,
$g$
is a given smooth positive function, and the integral holds for all functions
$h$
, which are harmonic on
$\overline Ω$
.
Our approach is based on minimization of the corresponding two-and multi-phase functional and the use of its one-phase version as a barrier. We prove several results concerning existence, qualitative behavior, and regularity theory for solutions. A central result in our study states that three or more junction points do not appear.
Keywords: Two-phase quadrature surface, free boundary, Bernoulli boundary conditio.
