TY - CHAP A1 - Abele, Daniel A1 - Kleefeld, Andreas A2 - Constanda, Christian T1 - New Numerical Results for the Optimization of Neumann Eigenvalues T2 - Computational and Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering N2 - We present new numerical results for shape optimization problems of interior Neumann eigenvalues. This field is not well understood from a theoretical standpoint. The existence of shape maximizers is not proven beyond the first two eigenvalues, so we study the problem numerically. We describe a method to compute the eigenvalues for a given shape that combines the boundary element method with an algorithm for nonlinear eigenvalues. As numerical optimization requires many such evaluations, we put a focus on the efficiency of the method and the implemented routine. The method is well suited for parallelization. Using the resulting fast routines and a specialized parametrization of the shapes, we found improved maxima for several eigenvalues.
