After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain and solve shape optimization problems and/or optimal control problems contstrained. They are able to independently develop the content on selected topics and present the main results and methods in a lecture.

We discuss selected topics in optimisation and shape optimisation. The focus is on both theory and numerics and possible topics could be

• shape optimization with shape manifolds

• shape spaces

• nonsmooth shape optimization

• quasi-Newton methods

• shape optimization with the Minkowski sum

• semi-smooth Newton methods

Presentation and if applicable implementation of algorithms

First meeting March 2 im Sem.R. DA grün 06B at 10:00.
