Manifold mapping: a two-level optimization technique

چکیده
In this paper, we analyze in some detail the manifold-mapping optimization technique introduced recently [Echeverría and Hemker in space mapping and defect correction. Comput Methods Appl Math 5(2): 107-–136, 2005]. Manifold mapping aims at accelerating optimal design procedures that otherwise require many evaluations of time-expensive cost functions. We give a proof of convergence for the manifold-mapping iteration. By means of two simple optimization problemswe illustrate the convergence results derived. Finally, the performances of several variants of the method are compared for some design problems from electromagnetics.

Conformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...

متن کاملModelling, Analysis and Simulation A trust-region strategy for manifold mapping optimization
As a starting point we take the space-mapping iteration technique by Bandler et al. for the efficient solution of optimization problems. This technique achieves acceleration of accurate design processes with the help of simpler, easier to optimize models. We observe the difference between the solution of the optimization problem and the computed space-mapping solutions. We repair this discrepan...
متن کاملA Two Level Approximation Technique for Structural Optimization
This work presents a method for optimum design of structures, where the design variables can he considered as Continuous or discrete. The variables are chosen as sizing variables as well as coordinates of joints. The main idea is to reduce the number of structural analyses and the overal cost of optimization. In each design cycle, first the structural response quantities such as forces, displac...
متن کاملGeometrical interpretation of the predictor-corrector type algorithms in structured optimization problems
It has been observed that in many optimization problems, nonsmooth objective functions often appear smooth on naturally arising manifolds. This has led to the development of optimization algorithms which attempt to exploit this smoothness. Many of these algorithms follow the same two step pattern: first predict a direction of decrease, and second make a correction step to return to the manifold...
