The sensitivity equation method for optimal design

In this work, we introduce the Sensitivity Equation Method (SEM) as a method for approximately solving infinite dimensional optimal design problems. The SEM couples a trust-region/quasi-Newton optimization algorithm with gradient information provided by apprOXimately solving the sensitivity equat...
