Abstract
In the present survey, we consider the classical reinforcement problem for elliptic boundary value problems originally studied by Sanchez-Palencia in 1969. We focus on the seminar papers by Brezis, Caffarelli, & Friedman, and by Acerbi & Buttazzo, and discuss the related optimisation problems proposed by Friedman and by Buttazzo.
