Optimization of Elliptic Systems (eBook, PDF)

Theory and Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the optimization of elliptic systems. This area of mathematical research, which has many important application in science and technology, has experienced an impressive development during the last two decades. This monograph aims to address some of the pressing unsolved questions in the field. The exposition concentrates along two main directions: the optimal control of linear and nonlinear elliptic equations, and problems involving unknown and/or variable domains. Throughout this monograph, the authors elucidate connections between seemingly different types of problems. One basic feature is to relax the needed regularity assumptions as much as possible in order to include larger classes of possible applications. The book is organized into six chapters that give a gradual and accessible presentation of the material, and a special effort is made to present numerous examples.

This monograph is addressed primarily to mathematics graduate students and researchers, however much of this material will also prove useful for scientists from physics, mechanics, and engineering.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The book gives a comprehensive view of the optimization of systems governed by partial differential equations of elliptic type. ... The book is carefully written. Basic tools of convex analysis, an abstract optimization theory, notions on the well-posedness of elliptic systems, and the existence results for optimal control problems are presented in a simple way. ... The book will therefore be useful for confirmed researchers as well as students willing to enter in the field. One could even teach a graduate course by selecting material." (Joseph Frédéric Bonnans, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1106 (8), 2007)
