Abstract

In this paper we consider a model shape optimization problem. The state variable solves an elliptic equation on a domain with one part of the boundary described as the graph of a control function. We prove higher regularity of the control and develop a priori error analysis for the finite element discretization of the shape optimization problem under consideration. The derived a priori error estimates are illustrated on two numerical examples.
