Abstract
In this paper, the author presents some results concerning the optimal shape design problem gov erned by the variational inequalities. The optimization techniques used for the solutions and present optimality conditions are also discussed. The computations are done by finite element methods, and the performance criterion is minimized by the gradient method. Some examples are used to clearly illustrate the essential elements of shape optimal design problems.
