Adaptive Approximation of Shapes

(Report number 2020-60)

Abstract
We consider scalar-valued shape functionals on sets of shapes which are small perturbations of a reference shape. The shapes are described by parameterizations and their closeness is induced by a Hilbert space structure on the parameter domain. We justify a heuristic for finding the best low-dimensional parameter subspace with respect to uniformly approximating a given shape functional. We also propose an adaptive algorithm for achieving a prescribed accuracy when representing the shape functional with a small number of shape parameters.

Keywords: Model reduction, shape calculus, shape gradient, shape Hessian, low-rank approximation, power iteration
