The shape of an acoustic horn is optimized with respect to its ability to provide impedance matching to the surrounding air. The resulting minimization problem is solved using a BFGS quasi-Newton algorithm. The wave propagation is modeled by a finite-element approximation of the Helmholtz equation,

## a b s t r a c t Using gradient-based optimization combined with numerical solutions of the Helmholtz equation, we design an acoustic device with high transmission efficiency and even directivity throughout a two-octave-wide frequency range. The device consists of a horn, whose flare is subject
## Abstract By using boundary shape optimization on the end part of a semiβinfinite waveguide for acoustic waves, we design transmissionβefficient interfacial devices without imposing an upper bound on the mouth diameter. The boundary element method solves the Helmholtz equation modeling the exteri
