Ce livre est une initiation aux approches modernes de l'optimisation mathématique de formes. On y développe la méthodologie ainsi que les outils d'analyse mathématique et de géométrie nécessaires à l'étude des variations de domaines. On y trouve une étude systématique des questions géométriques associées à l'opérateur de Laplace, de la capacité classique, de la dérivation par rapport à une forme, ainsi qu'un FAQ sur les topologies usuelles sur les domaines et sur les propriétés géométriques des formes optimales avec ce qui se passe quand elles n'existent pas, le tout avec une importante bibliographie.
Sommario
Introduction, Exemples.- Topologies sur les domaines de ?N.- Continuité par rapport au domaine.- Existence de formes optimales.- Dérivation par rapport au domaine.- Propriétés géométriques de l'optimum.- Relaxation, homogénéisation.
Riassunto
Variation et Optimisation de Formes is an introduction to the modern theory of shape optimization. There are no prerequisites beyond a standard undergraduate background in mathematics. Yet the book leads up to open questions in this very active field of research. Methodology and tools of mathematical analysis and geometry for variations of shapes are carefully described. Emphasis is put on geometric questions for the Laplace operator, on the classical capacity, or on shape derivatives. It also gives an FAQ on the usual topologies for domains and on the geometric properties of optimal shapes and shows what to do when they do not exist. The book ends on an extended bibliography.

From the reviews:
"The book under review is devoted to the very interesting field of shape optimization problems, which received a lot of attention in the recent years. … many examples coming from applications are presented. The book also includes many exercises which, together with all the remarks, comments and presentations of problems still open, make the volume an excellent choice for anyone who wants to approach the fascinating field of shape optimization." (Giuseppe Buttazo, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1098 (24), 2006)
