This book provides a bridge between continuous optimization and PDE modelling and focuses on the numerical solution of the corresponding problems. Intended for

Many engineering and scientific problems in design, control, and parameter estimation can be formulated as optimization problems that are governed by partial di

Optimal design, optimal control, and parameter estimation of systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) give rise to a class of problems known as

This book highlights new developments in the wide and growing field of partial differential equations (PDE)-constrained optimization. Optimization problems wher

Provides a basic understanding of both the underlying mathematics and the computational methods used to solve inverse problems.
