We consider optimal control problems, where the control appears in the main part of the operator. We derive the Pontryagin maximum principle as a necessary optimality condition. The proof uses the concept of topological derivatives. In…

We consider shape optimization problems with internal inclusion constraints, of the form $$\min\big\{J(\Omega)\ :\ \Dr\subset\Omega\subset\R^d,\ |\Omega|=m\big\},$$ where the set $\Dr$ is fixed, possibly unbounded, and $J$ depends on…
