Source for learning Functional derivative , Gateaux derivative












0












$begingroup$


I have started doing research in optimal control theory. My area of research is PDE constrained optimization.



I am facing significant difficulty in deriving the Gateaux Derivative of functionals required for optimization.



For example I have to find out $U(sigma,u,w;C) = 1/2 int (sigma - C:epsilon[u]):{C}^{-1}:(sigma - C:epsilon[u]))$, where $C$ is a 4th order constitutive tensor and $sigma$ is 2nd order stress tensor. The operator $:$ is the double dot product operator. All quantities are function of space ($R^3$).



How can I calculate derivative of $U$ with respect to $sigma$ ?? I have tried to expand this using index notation. But it made the task very difficult.



Could you provide a source where I can have exposure to such kind of mathematics?



Thank you.

    Another term for Gâteaux derivative is shape derivative, often used in connection with shape optimization. Are these the sort of problems you are interested in?

    I am not directly doing shape optimization right now. But the work does involve topological derivative applied to structural mechanics. In short, I have a cost functional that includes U mentioned above. Finding the first order optimality is the first step of my task. Any insights??
