Introduction In this note, we want to give some remarks and improvements on a recent paper of us [3] about an optimization problem for the p −Laplace operator. These remarks were motivated by some discussion the authors had with Prof. Cianchi and we are grateful to him. Let us recall the problem analyzed in [3]. Given a domain Ω ⊂ N (bounded, connected, with smooth boundary) and some class of admissibel loads A, in [3] we studied the following problem: J (f ) := ∂Ω f (x)uf dHN −1 → max for f ∈ A, where Hd denotes the d−dimensional Hausdorff measure and u is the (unique) solution to the nonlinear problem with load f p −2 −∆ u + |u | u = 0 in Ω, (1.1) pp −2 ∂u |∇u | ∂ν = f on ∂Ω. p −2 ∂ Where p ∈ (1, ∞), ∆ u = div(|∇u | ∇u) is the usual p −Laplacian, is the p ∂ν outer normal derivative and f ∈ Lq (∂Ω) with q p . N In [3], we worked with three different classes of ad
