Topological Optimization and Optimal Transport

In the Applied Sciences

432 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

By discussing topics such as shape representations, relaxation theory and optimal transport, trends and synergies of mathematical tools required for optimization of geometry and topology of shapes are explored. Furthermore, applications in science and engineering, including economics, social sciences, biology, physics and image processing are covered.
