Existence and Regularity Results for Some Shape Optimization Problems
We study the existence and regularity of optimal domains for functionals depending on the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian or of more general Schrödinger operators. The domains are subject to perimeter and volume constraints; we also take into account the possible presence of geometric obstacles. We investigate the properties of the optimal sets and of the optimal state functions. In par…

Advanced Methods in the Fractional Calculus of Variations
This brief presents a general unifying perspective on the fractional calculus. It brings together results of several recent approaches in generalizing the least action principle and the Euler–Lagrange equations to include fractional derivatives. The dependence of Lagrangians on generalized fractional operators as well as on classical derivatives is considered along with still more general …

Evolutionary Optimization and Game Strategies for Advanced Multi-Disciplinary…
Many complex aeronautical design problems can be formulated with efficient multi-objective evolutionary optimization methods and game strategies. This book describes the role of advanced innovative evolution tools in the solution, or the set of solutions of single or multi disciplinary optimization. These tools use the concept of multi-population, asynchronous parallelization and hierarchica…
