Piecewise uniform optimal design of a bar with an attached mass

We minimize, with respect to the cross sectional area, the mass of a bar given the rate of heat transfer. The bar enhances the heat transfer surface of a larger known mass to which the bar is attached. This article is an extension of a previous publication by two coauthors, where heat transfer...
