For shape optimization problem a special approach for the description
of the boundary variation is investigated. This, together
with the use of a potential ansatz for the state, allows a natural
embedding of the problem in a Banach space. Therefore, the
standard differential calculus can
be applied in order to prove Frechet-differentiability of the objective for appropriately
choosen data (sufficiently smooth). Moreover, necessary
optimality conditions are obtained, which can be expressed
in terms of an adjoint state for more regular data.
