ABSTRACT: 

In this note, globally optimal solutions to three sets of small-scale discretized continuum topology optimization problems are presented. All the problems were discretized by the use of nine-node isoparametric finite elements. The idea is that these solutions can be used as benchmark problems when testing new algorithms for finding pure 0-1 solutions to topology optimization problems defined on discretized ground structures.
