Optimal Shape Design Lectures given at the Joint C.I.M./C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Troia (Portugal), June 1-6, 1998

Optimal Shape Design is concerned with the optimization of some performance criterion dependent (besides the constraints of the problem) on the "shape" of some region. The main topics covered are: the optimal design of a geometrical object, for instance a wing, moving in a fluid; the optim...
