Transformation techniques in optimal design problems with application to harbour shapes

In this thesis the previously unsolved problem of finding the shape of a harbour which minimises the wave height inside is considered. This is a problem of optimal shape design in which the wave height variation is given by a partial differential equation defined over the harbour region and the opti...
