An unfitted hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method in shape optimization

When

1 p.m., April 1, 2022

Shape optimization seeks to optimize the shape of a region where certain partial differential equation is posed such that a functional of its solution is minimized/maximized. In this talk we will give an introduction to shape optimization through a model problem, introducing the concepts of shape derivative for a function and perturbation of the shape for a functional,  we will deduce the optimality conditions for the problem, and then we will present a numerical algorithm to seek the solution via a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method on curved domains, and we will give a brief introduction of this numerical method for solving PDEs on curved domains.
