Variational Methods in Shape Optimization Problems (Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications, 65)

Shape optimization problems are treated from the classical and modern perspectives

Targets a broad audience of graduate students in pure and applied mathematics, as well as engineers requiring a solid mathematical basis for the solution of practical problems

Requires only a standard knowledge in the calculus of variations, differential equations, and functional analysis

Driven by several good examples and illustrations

Poses some open questions.
