Abstract

A numerical analysis technique is presented for solving optimization prob- lems of geometrical domains in which elliptic boundary value problems are defined. Domain variation is formulated with a one-to-one mapping and its infinitesimal variation with a speed field as advocated by Zolesio. * The sensitivity functions, which we call the shape gradient functions, of domain variation are derived using the Lagrange multiplier method or
