We consider a linear damped wave equation defined on a two-dimensional domain Ω, with a dissipative term localized in a subset ω. We address the shape design problem which consists in optimizing the shape of ω in order to minimize the energy of the system at a given time T.

We also consider optimization with respect to the value of the damping parameter.
