@article{16339, author = {Johannes Haubner and Martin Siebenborn and Michael Ulbrich}, title = {A Continuous Perspective on Shape Optimization via Domain Transformations}, abstract = {In this article we consider shape optimization problems as optimal control problems via the method of mappings. Instead of optimizing over a set of admissible shapes, a reference domain is introduced, and it is optimized over a set of admissible transformations. The focus is on the choice of the set of transformations, which we motivate from a continuous perspective. In order to guarantee local injectivity of the admissible transformations, we enrich the optimization problem by a nonlinear constraint. Numerical results for drag minimization of Stokes flow are presented.}, year = {2021}, journal = {SIAM Journal of Scientific Computing}, volume = {43}, pages = {A1997{\textendash}A2018}, publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics}, doi = {10.1137/20M1332050}, }
