This book is motivated largely by a desire to solve shape optimization prob lems that arise in applications, particularly in structural mechanics and in the opt

Treats sizing and shape optimization in a comprehensive way, covering everything from mathematical theory through computational aspects to industrial applicatio

​We study the existence and regularity of optimal domains for functionals depending on the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian or of more general Schrödinger

This book has grown out of lectures and courses given at Linköping University, Sweden, over a period of 15 years. It gives an introductory treatment of problem

The efficiency and reliability of manufactured products depend on, among other things, geometrical aspects; it is therefore not surprising that optimal shape de
