Abstract:Abstract. In this paper, we are interested in finding the optimal shape of a magnet. The criterion to maximize is the jump of the electromagnetic field between two different configurations. We prove existence of an optimal shape into a natural class of domains. We introduce a quasi-Newton type algorithm which moves the boundary. This method is very efficient to improve an initial shape. We give some numerical results.Mathematics Subject Classification. 49J20, 49Q10, 65K10, 78A30.

“…The proposed implementation takes advantage of the analytic structure of the governing equations. While boundary-integral techniques have been used for shape optimization of elliptic PDEs, this was typically done in the discrete setting (i.e., "discretize-then-differentiate") with or without the adjoint equations used to evaluate the shape sensitivities as in [33,34,35,36,37,38].…”
Section: Review Of Computational Methods For Shape Optimization Of Elmentioning
This investigation is motivated by the problem of optimal design of cooling elements in modern battery systems. We consider a simple model of two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction described by elliptic partial differential equations and involving a onedimensional cooling element represented by a contour on which interface boundary conditions are specified. The problem consists in finding an optimal shape of the cooling element which will ensure that the solution in a given region is close (in the least squares sense) to some prescribed target distribution. We formulate this problem as PDE-constrained optimization and the locally optimal contour shapes are found using a gradient-based descent algorithm in which the Sobolev shape gradients are obtained using methods of the shapedifferential calculus. The main novelty of this work is an accurate and efficient approach to the evaluation of the shape gradients based on a boundary-integral formulation which exploits certain analytical properties of the solution and does not require grids adapted to the contour. This approach is thoroughly validated and optimization results obtained in different test problems exhibit nontrivial shapes of the computed optimal contours.
“…A related approach for gradient flows involving Laplacian type PDE constraints can be found in [35,36]. Other approaches using level sets can be found in [37][38][39][40][41], as well as boundary integral methods in [42][43][44]. See [45,31,29,34,46,47] for other methods.…”
