Abstract
We describe simple numerical tests, which could have been used for verifying the derivation of the second order sensitivity analysis in a recent educational article “An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in Matlab” by Liu and Tovar (Struct Multidiscip Optim, 2014. doi:10.1007/s00158-014-1107-x). We also discuss the second order sensitivity analysis for the problem considered in the cited paper.
