A Linear View on Shape Optimization

Optimization and Control 2022-03-15 v1

Abstract

Shapes do not define a linear space. This paper explores the linear structure of deformations as a representation of shapes. This transforms shape optimization to a variant of optimal control. The numerical challenges of this point of view are highlighted and a novel linear version of the second shape derivative is proposed leading to particular algorithms of shape Newton type.
