Schulz", "Kathrin Welker" ], "categories": [ "math.OC" ], "abstract": "Shape optimization problems constrained by variational inequalities (VI) are non-smooth and non-convex optimization problems. The non-smoothness arises due to the variational inequality constraint, which makes it challenging to derive optimality conditions. Besides the non-smoothness there are complementary aspects due to the VIs as well as distributed, non-linear, non-convex and infinite-dimensional aspects due to the shapes which complicate to set up an optimality system and, thus, to develop fast and higher order solution algorithms. In this paper, we consider Newton-derivatives in order to formulate optimality conditions. In this context, we set up a Newton-shape derivative scheme. Examples show the application of the proposed scheme.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-07T09:34:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49Q10", "49J40", "35Q93", "65K15" ], "keywords": [ "shape optimization problems", "newton derivative scheme", "higher order solution algorithms", "variational inequality constraint", "formulate optimality conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
