Bifurcation condition for optimal sets of the average distance functional
Abstract
Consider the quasi-static irreversible evolution of a connected network, which minimizes the average distance functional. We look for conditions forcing a bifurcation, thus changing the topology. We would give here a sufficient conditions. Then we will give an explicit example of sets satisfying the bifurcation condition, and analyze this special case. Proofs given here will be somewhat sketchy, and this work is based on [9], in which more details can be found.
