Multiplicity of the maximum eigenvalue in structural optimization problems

Abstract [en]

Many problems in structural optimization can be formulated as a minimization of the maximum eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix. In practise it is often observed that the maximum eigenvalue has multiplicity greater than one close to or at optimal solutions. In this note we give a sufficient condition for this to happen at extreme points in the optimal solution set. If, as in topology optimization, each design variable determines the amount of material in a finite element in the design domain then this condition essentially amounts to saying that the number of elements containing material at a solution must be greater than the order of the matrix.
