Do optimal shapes exist?

چکیده
This paper surveys the talk given by the author at ”Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano” in November 2006. It deals with the existence question for shape optimization problems associated to the Dirichlet Laplacian. Existence of solutions is seen from both geometrical and functional (γ-convergence) point of view and is discussed in relationship with the optimality conditions and numerical algorithms. Several examples are given concerning isoperimetric inequalities for eigenvalues and shape control problems.

ON OPTIMAL NOZZLE SHAPES OF GAS-DYNAMIC LASERS
Pontryagin's principle is used to study the shape of the supersonic part of the nozzle of a carbon dioxide gas-dynamic laser whose gain is maximal. The exact shape is obtained for the uncoupled approximation of Anderson's bimodal model. In this case, if sharp corners are allowed, the ceiling of the supersonic part consists of a slant rectangular sheet followed by a horizontal one; otherwise...
متن کاملOptimal Pulse Shapes for Periodic Reverse Electroplating
Abstract – In this report, time-dependent carrier concentration in electrolytic cells, due to some basic periodic shapes of excitation signal, has been studied. Exact analytical solutions for step, sinusoidal and periodic pulse reverse inputs are derived. The effect of frequency, forward and reverse amplitudes, and duty cycle are investigated. An analytical solution of the model is obtained as ...
متن کاملOPTIMAL NOZZLE SHAPES OF CO2-N2-H2O GASDYNAMIC LASERS
In an axisymmetric CO2-N2-H2O gas dynamic laser, let ? denote the intersection of the vertical plane of symmetry with the upper part of the (supersonic) nozzle. To obtain a maximal small signal gain, some authors have tested several families of curves for ?. To find the most general solution for ?, an application of Pontryagin’s principle led to the conjuncture that the optimal ? must consist o...
متن کاملTeichmüller extremal mapping and its applications to landmark matching registration
Registration, which aims to find an optimal 1-1 correspondence between shapes, is an important process in different research areas. Conformal mappings have been widely used to obtain a diffeomorphism between shapes that minimizes angular distortion. Conformal registrations are beneficial since it preserves the local geometry well. However, when landmark constraints are enforced, conformal mappi...
متن کاملOptimal Shape Design for a Cooling Pin Fin Connection Profil
A shape optimization problem of cooling fins for computer parts and integrated circuits is modeled and solved in this paper. The main purpose is to determine the shape of a two-dimensional pin fin, which leads to the maximum amount of removed heat. To do this, the shape optimization problem is defined as maximizing the norm of the Nusselt number distribution at the boundary of the pin fin's con...
