contents In this article, we formulate topology optimization problems concerning the mass distribution as minimization problems for functionals on the Wasserstein space. We relax optimization problems regarding non-convex objective functions on the Wasserstein space by using the Neumann heat semigroup and prove the existence of minimizers of relaxed problems. Furthermore, we introduce the filtered Wasserstein gradient flow and derive the error estimate between the original Wasserstein gradient flow and the filtered one in terms of the Wasserstein distance. We also construct a candidate for the optimal mass distribution for a given fixed total mass and simultaneously obtain the shape of the material by the numerical calculation of filtered Wasserstein gradient flows.
