Abstract:
This paper proposes a strategy to derive an adjoint-based optimization
code from a numerical simulation code. The strategy involves
utilization of Automatic Differentiation (AD), and in fact was a
motivating application for several studies and improvements of AD. The
strategy gives best results when interfaced with modern optimization
methods, such as "one-shot" or "multi-level". This paper presents a
set of application examples where this strategy was used, and gives
some experimental results. We also discuss some theoretical questions
related to the computation of gradients and the optimization process
in general.
