2 Multiple state problem optimizing energy Fill R d with two isotropic materials with conductivity 0 < α < β, quantity q α of the first material is given: State equations A = χαi + (1 χ)βi, χ L (; {0, 1}) χ dx = q α { div (A ui ) = f i u i H 1 0 () i = 1,..., m, Goal functional is a conic sum of energies (µ i > 0) I (χ) = µ i f i (x)u i (x)dx min / max Relaxation via homogenization theory: classical design relaxed design χ L (; {0, 1}) θ L (; [0, 1]) A K(θ) a.e. on I (χ) J(θ, A) given by the same formula Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 2

4 Representation by a concave maximization problem The space of admissible local fractions { T := θ L (; [0, 1]) : Admissible (relaxed) designs θ dx = q α } A = {(θ, A) T L (; Sym) : A K(θ) (a.e. on )} λ 2 λ + θ K(θ) λ 2 λ + θ B(θ) λ + θ 1 λ θ = θα + (1 θ)β = θ α + 1 θ β λ θ λ θ λ θ λ + θ λ 1 λ θ λ + θ λ 1 B = {(θ, A) T L (; Sym) : A B(θ) (a.e. on )} Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 4

5 Maximization over B Murat and Tartar (1985), Casado-Díaz (2015) one state equation. Lemma There exists a unique σ S = {σ L 2 (; R d ) m : div σ i = f i, i = 1..m} such that max J(θ, A) = max µ i A 1 σi σi dx. (1) (θ,a) B (θ,a) B Moreover, if (θ, A ) is an optimal design for problem max B J and u the corresponding state function, then A u i = σ i, i = 1,..., m. Above maximization problems is easily solved: Design (θ, A ) is optimal if and only if (almost everywhere in ) A σ i = λ θ σ i, i = 1..m. If u is the corresponding state function, we have σ i = λ θ u i or equivalently A u i = λ θ u i, i = 1..m. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 5

6 Simpler relaxation problem Theorem Let (θ, A ) be an optimal design for the problem max B J. Then θ solves I (θ) = µ i f i u i dx max θ T and u determined uniquely by div (λ θ u i) = f i u i H 1 0 () i = 1,..., m, (2) Conversely, if θ is a solution of optimal design problem (2), and ũ is the corresponding state function, then for any measurable à B( θ) such that à ũ i = λ ( θ) ũ i, e.g. for à = λ ( θ)i, ( θ, Ã) is an optimal design for the problem max B J. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 6

7 Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions Similar to Lemma above, one can rephrase the simpler relaxation problem (2): there exists a unique σ S = {σ L 2 (; R d ) m : div σ i = f i, i = 1..m} such that max I = max T θ T µ i Moreover, σ is the same as for max B J. Lemma β α αβ θ σ i 2 dx. The necessary and sufficient condition of optimality for solution θ T of optimal design problem (2) simplifies to the existence of a Lagrange multiplier c 0 such that µ i σi 2 > c θ = 1, µ i σi 2 < c θ = 0. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 7

8 Spherically symmetric case Let R d be spherically symmetric (ball or annulus), and let the right-hand sides be radial functions: f i = f i (r). Since σ is unique, it must be radial: σ i = σ i (r)e r. Theorem For any maximizer θ for max T I, the radial function θ(r) = θ ds is also a maximizer. B(0,r) If θ is a maximizer of I over T, then for a simple laminate à K( θ) with layers orthogonal to e r, ( θ, Ã) is a maximizer of J over A. For any maximizer (θ, A ) of J over A, θ is a maximizer of I over T. For problems on a ball, σ is a unique (radial) solution od div σ i = f i, i = 1..m, and so conditions of optimality easily determine optimal θ. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 8

9 Energy minimization A. Single state equation: [Murat & Tartar, 1985] I (θ) = fu dx min θ T, and u determined uniquely by div (λ + θ u) = f u H 1 0 () B. Multiple state equations: I (θ) = µ i f i u i dx min θ T, and u i determined uniquely by div (λ + θ u i) = f i u i H 1 0 () i = 1,..., m A: Holds always! min A J min I T B: Holds in spherically symmetric case or when m < d. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 9

10 m < d Theorem If m < d then min A J = min T I and: There is unique u H 1 0 (; Rm ) which is the state for every solution of min A J and min T I. If (θ, A ) is an optimal design for the problem min A J, then θ is optimal design for min T I. Conversely, if θ is a solution of optimal design problem min T I, then any (θ, A ) A satisfying A ui = λ + θ u i, i = 1,..., m (e.g. simple laminates) is an optimal design for the problem min A J. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 10

11 Spherical symmetry R d is spherically symmetric and right-hand sides f i = f i (r), i = 1,..., m are radial functions. Theorem There is a unique radial u which is the state for any solution of min A J and min T I. Moreover, If (θ, A ) A is a solution of the relaxed problem min A J then θ is optimal for min T I, and A ui = λ + θ u i, i = 1,..., m. There exists a radial minimizer θ of I over T and for any radial minimizer θ of I over T there exists a simple laminate A K(θ ) such that (θ, A ) is an optimal design for min A J. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 11

12 Optimality conditions for min T I min θ T I (θ) = max θ T min v H 1 0 (;Rm ) µ i Saddle points exist... share the same v (aka u ). min I (θ) = max θ T θ T µ i λ + θ v i 2 2f i v i dx λ + θ u i 2 2f i u i dx Lemma θ T is a solution min T I if and only if there exists a Lagrange multiplier c 0 such that m µ i u i 2 > c θ = 0, µ i ui 2 < c θ = 1. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 12

13 Example energy minimization = B(0, 2), f 1 = χ B(0,1), f 2 1, { div (λ + θ u i) = f i u i H 1 0 () i = 1, 2 µ f 1 u 1 dx + f 2 u 2 dx min Solving state equation in polar coordinates u i (r) = σ i (r) θ(r)α + (1 θ(r))β, i = 1, 2, with r σ 1 (r) = 2, 0 r < 1, r 1 and σ 2 (r) = 2r, 1 r 2, 2. Define ψ := µσ σ2 2, g α := ψ α 2, g β := ψ β 2. Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 13

15 Optimal θ for case B Optimal state u is unknown but m µ i ui 2 = µ u1 2 + u2 2 [g β, g α ]. By necessary conditions of optimality, on a set where c > g α we have θ = 1, on a set where c < g β we have θ = 0, and if g β < c < g α we have θ 0, 1, and θ is uniquely determined from ψ λ +(θ ) = c. 2 c g α θ 1 c α β β g β c 0 p c 1 q c 1 q c 2 q c 3 g α g β 0 4 µ 2 r B: 1 < µ 4 2 r 0 p c 1 q c 1 q c 2 q c 3 All possible optimal configurations (for various q α ): α α mix α mix α mix α mix β α mix β mix β Marko Vrdoljak Optimal design problems with explicit solution 15 2 r
