Computation-intensive design problems are becoming increasingly common in
manufacturing industries. The computation burden is often caused by expensive analysis …

We review the space-mapping (SM) technique and the SM-based surrogate (modeling)
concept and their applications in engineering design optimization. For the first time, we …

For many years all three of us have been interested in, and have tried to make contributions
to, derivative-free optimization. Our motivation for writing this book resulted from various …

The integration of optimization methodologies with computational analyses/simulations has
a profound impact on the product design. Such integration, however, faces multiple …

Over the last fifty years, the ability to carry out analysis as a precursor to decision making in
engineering design has increased dramatically. In particular, the advent of modern …

Microwave CAD has its roots in the 1960s [1]. Its practice saw the enrichment of circuit-
based model libraries, advances in EM and circuit simulation accuracy, and the refinement …

Preliminary design of a complex system often involves exploring a broad design space. This
may require repeated use of computationally expensive simulations. To ease the …

First-order approximation/model management optimization (AMMO) is a rigorous
methodology for solving high-fidelity optimization problems with minimal expense in high …

In this paper we show that space-mapping optimization can be understood in the framework
of defect correction. Then, space-mapping algorithms can be seen as special cases of defect …

We present a coupling of the reduced basis methods and free-form deformations for shape
optimization and design of systems modelled by elliptic PDEs. The free-form deformations …
