In this paper, we consider two approaches to solving an optimization based design problem where “shape” is the design parameter. Both methods use domain transformations to comp...

Abstract The performance of stochastic optimisers can be assessed experimentally on given problems by performing multiple optimisation runs, and analysing the results. Since an opt...
