Contents

The basic concepts and fundamental quantities of mathematical optimization are presented, in which a focus is put on aspects which are of foremost importance for structural optimization problems. As part of an introduction, basic knowledge of mathematical terms and aspects of optimization is imparted. Afterwards optimization problems without constraints as well as problems with constraints are considered. Based on this, alternative formulations of an optimization problem (so-called Lagrange duality) are presented with the help of Lagrange functions. Subsequently approximation methods, optimality criteria methods and multi-criteria optimization are considered. Finally, outlooks on other areas such as shape optimization and topology optimization are given.
