Abstract

The paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of optimum design problems in which the controlled systems are described by elliptic variational inequalities. The approach is based on the description of (discretized) system operators by means of generalized Jacobians and the subsequent usage of nondifferentiable optimization methods. As an application, an important shape design problems is solved.
