This book introduces, in an accessible way, the basic elements of Numerical PDE-Constrained Optimization, from the derivation of optimality conditions to the de

Many engineering and scientific problems in design, control, and parameter estimation can be formulated as optimization problems that are governed by partial di

Solving optimization problems subject to constraints given in terms of partial d- ferential equations (PDEs) with additional constraints on the controls and/or

Optimal design, optimal control, and parameter estimation of systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) give rise to a class of problems known as

This volume provides a broad and uniform introduction of PDE-constrained optimization as well as to document a number of interesting and challenging application
