M24. Inverse Problems via Topological Derivatives

The topological derivative of a shape functional measures the sensitivity of such functional to having an infinitesimal perturbation at each point of the explored region. It has many applications in connection with inverse problems such as shape optimization, topology optimization, imaging processing, crack and defect detection in non-destructive testing, to mention a few.

The aim of this minisymposium is to bring together experts and young researchers working in this field to discuss and review the recent applications, new results and future challenges.
