Abstract:
The topology optimization problem is a problem that determines the shape and topology of materials that minimize a given energy and attracts attention in industry. However, the obtained shapes are not always manufacturable. In this talk, we construct a distance function, which is one of the geometric features, by employing a solution of an elliptic equation.
