Abstract

In this paper we consider an extension of the results in shape differentiation of semilinear equations with smooth nonlinearity presented by Díaz and Gómez-Castro [8] to the case in which the nonlinearities might be less smooth. Namely we show that Gateaux shape derivatives exists when the nonlinearity is only Lipschitz continuous, and we will give a definition of the derivative when the nonlinearity has a blow up. In this direction, we study the case of root-type nonlinearities.
