报告摘要:
This talk is about shape optimization algorithms based on immersed finite elements for solving some interface inverse problems with fixed meshes. We consider an interface forward problem modeling a certain physics in a domain formed with different materials; hence, the coefficients in the partial differential equation of this forward problem are usually discontinuous across the interface separating the materials. An interface inverse problem associated with this forward problem is to use some measurements about the solution of the underlying forward problem, either on the boundary and/or in the interior of the domain, to determine the material interface. We formulate the interface inverse problem as a shape optimization problem whose objective functional depends on the interface. Both the governing partial differential equation and objective functional are discretized accurately by an immersed finite element (IFE) method on a fixed mesh independent of the interface varying in the shape optimization. Formulas for the shape sensitivities of the discretized objective function are derived within the IFE framework that can be computed accurately and efficiently through the discretized adjoint method. We demonstrate features of the IFE-based shape optimization algorithms by a group of representative interface inverse/design problems.
