The automation of PDE-constrained optimisation and its applications

This thesis is concerned with the automation of solving optimisation problems constrained by partial differential equations (PDEs). Gradient-based optimisation algorithms are the key to solve optimisation problems of practical interest. The required derivatives can be efficiently computed with the a...
