On the topological derivative in shape optimization. (English) Zbl 0940.49026

Author’s abstract: “The topological derivative for an arbitrary shape functional is defined. Examples are provided for elliptic equations and the elasticity system in the plane. The topological derivative can be used for solving shape optimization problems in structural mechanics”.
