How to solve and plot a shape optimization problem

0 votes

Hello

I have a shape optimization problem, a function F(x) where I wish to plot the zero set as a shape. F is given as the solution to a differential equation, and is time-dependent. Does anyone know of a tutorial or anything that would be of help to this problem?

Best regards,
haakon

Can you be more specific?
If you want an answer to your question is a good idea that you show us explicitly what problem are trying to solve and what is your implementation attempt.

Well, let us say to begin with that I want to simulate a Brownian motion, that is to say that for any small timestep dt I want a particle to move in a random direction given by a normal distribution N(0,dt).

I want to do this for several particles and in a more complex way than a simple Brownian motion, but if anyone could help me with the first step Id be much obliged.
