## Compliance estimates for two-dimensional problems with Dirichlet region of prescribed length

 1 Politecnico di Torino, Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi, 24 10129 Torino, Italy

Received  July 2011 Published  February 2012

In this paper we prove some lower bounds for the compliance functional, in terms of the $1$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the Dirichlet region and the number of its connected components. When the measure of the Dirichlet region is large, these estimates are asymptotically optimal and yield a proof of a conjecture by Buttazzo and Santambrogio.
