A function space approach to the shape optimization of the Boussinesq system

Andrea Ceretani, Weiwei Hu, Lin Mu +1

We investigate a shape optimization problem for a heat-conducting fluid governed by a Boussinesq system. The main goal is to determine an optimal domain shape that yields a tempera…

Minimal and maximal solution maps of elliptic QVIs of obstacle type: Lipschitz stability, differentiability and optimal control

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg +1

Quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type in many cases have multiple solutions that can be ordered. We study a multitude of properties of the operator mapping the sou…
