We discuss first order optimality conditions for geometric optimization problems with Neumann boundary conditions and boundary observation. The methods we develop here are applicable to large classes of state systems or cost functionals. Our approach is based on the implicit parametrization theorem and the use of Hamiltonian systems. It establishes equivalence with a constrained optimal control problem and uses Lagrange multipliers under a simple constraint qualification. In this setting, general functional variations are performed, that combine classical topological and boundary variations, in a natural way.Downloads
