Shape optimization with nonsmooth cost functions: from theory to numerics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper is concerned with the study of a class of nonsmooth cost functions subject to a quasi-linear PDE in Lipschitz domains in dimension two. We derive the Eulerian semi-derivative of the cost function by employing the averaged adjoint approach and maximal elliptic regularity. Furthermore we characterise stationary points and show how to compute steepest descent direc- tions theoretically and practically. Finally, we present some numerical results for a simple toy problem and compare them with the smooth case. We also compare the convergence rates and obtain higher rates in the nonsmooth case.
