Synopsis

This book bridges a gap between a rigorous mathematical approach to variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of structural optimization in engineering applications. The foundations of structural optimization are presented in sufficiently simple form as to make them available for practical use.

From the Back Cover

This book treats two sets of mathematical problems that are closely related to each other. The first kind is structural optimization problems which asks about inner structure of an inhomogeneous body which is designed to be optimal in some sense. The description of optimal microstructures is the second topic of this book.
