Popis: The Laplace-Beltrami operator has a broad breadth and depth of application in the fields of engineering, machine learning, and computer graphics. In particular, the operator's salient feature of defining a spectral method, enabling the manipulation of its eigenfunctions as a basis set, has been driving its popularity in many fields. The eigenfunctions form a basis referred to as the manifold harmonic basis (MHB). MHB are constructed over $C^{2}$ subdivision surfaces, further enhancing its ability to capture very fine features such as convexity, edges, corners, etc., with relatively few eigenfunctions. MHB proves to be a great candidate for developing the inverse source/design framework due to their natural means of compressing data. We pose a shape optimization problem that aims to find the boundary, in terms of MHs, wherein sources are defined to produce the desired fields constrained. Numerical results are presented for validation.
