contents We generalize the shape optimization problem for the existence of stable equilibrium configurations of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystal drops surrounded by an isotropic solution to include a broader family of admissible domains with inner boundaries, allowing discontinuities in the director field across them. Within this setting, we prove the existence of optimal configurations under a volume constraint and show that the minimization problem is a natural generalization of that posed for regular domains.
