Abstract

Bernoulli free boundary problem is numerically solved via shape optimization that minimizes a cost functional subject to state problems constraints. In \cite{1}, an energy-gap cost functional was formulated based on two auxiliary state problems, with existence of optimal solution attempted through continuity of state problems with respect to the domain. Nevertheless, there exists a corrigendum in Eq.(48) in \cite{1}, where the boundedness of solution sequences for state problems with respect to the domain cannot be directly estimated via the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality as \textbf{Claimed}. In this comment, we rectify this proof by Poincar\'e-Friedrichs inequality.
