Group Seminar: OOC: PDE constrained shape optimization and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces

Speaker: Kevin Sturm (University of Duisburg-Essen); Location: SP2 219

In the first part of this talk we are going to review basic concepts of shape optimization such as the Eulerian semi-derivative. Then we discuss gradient methods using the domain expression of the shape derivative. In this context kernel reproducing Hilbert spaces play a central role and allow a unification of previously used methods. Finally some numerical results using radial kernels are presented.
