Abstract: We present a general shape optimization framework based on the method of mappings in the $ W^{1,\infty } $ W 1 , ∞ topology. We propose steepest descent and Newton-like minimization algorithms for the numerical solution of the respective shape optimization problems. Our work is built upon previous work of the authors in Deckelnick, Herbert, and Hinze, ESAIM: COCV 28 (2022), where a $ W^{1,\infty } $ W 1 , ∞ framework for star-shaped domains is proposed. To illustrate our approach, we present a selection of PDE-constrained shape optimization problems and compare our findings to results from so far classical Hilbert space methods and recent p-approximations.
