Abstract

In topology optimization problems, we are often forced to deal with large-scale numericalproblems, so that the domain decomposition method occurs naturally. Consider a typicaltopology optimization problem, the minimum compliance problem of a linear isotropicelastic continuum structure, in which the constraints are the partial differentialequations of linear elasticity. We subdivide the partial differential equations into twosubproblems posed on non-overlapping sub-domains. In this paper, we consider the resultingproblem as multilevel one and show that it can be written as one level problem
