This is a classical shape and topology optimisation problem: One optimises the geometry of a mechanical device (e.g. a bridge or a lever) such that it minimises a weighted sum of volume (or ...

This is a course in optimisation ... of the Calculus of Variations. No specific knowledge of functional analysis will be assumed and the emphasis will be on examples. This course develops a geometric ...
