Abstract

The problem of an energy dissipation optimization in a conductive electromagnetic media is considered. The domain is known a priori and is fixed throughout the optimization process. We apply a perturbed and damped interior-point Newton method for the primal-dual formulation of the nonlinear programming problem. Nonnegative slack variables are added to the inequality constraints in the optimization problem. Computational results concerning a two-dimensional isotropic system are included.
