For some heuristic approaches of the variation in shape optimization the
computation of second derivatives of domain and boundary integral functionals,
their symmetry and a comparison to the velocity field or
material derivative method are discussed. Moreover, for
some of these approaches the functionals are Frechet-differentiable,
because an embedding into a Banach space problem is possible.
This allows the discussion of sufficient condition in terms
of a coercivity assumption on the second Frechet-derivative. The theory is illustrated by a discussion of the famous
Dido problem.
