Abstract

This paper is concerned with a second-order numerical method for shape optimization problems. The first variation and the second variation of the objective functional are derived. These variations are discretized by introducing a set of boundary-value problems in order to derive the second-order numerical method. The boundary-value problems are solved by the conventional finite-element method.
