Title: Towards Multi-level Optimization: Space-Mapping and Manifold-Mapping

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/900107· OSTI ID:900107

In this report we study space-mapping and manifold-mapping, two multi-level optimization techniques that aim at accelerating expensive optimization procedures with the aid of simple auxiliary models. Manifold-mapping improves in accuracy the solution given by space-mapping. In this report, the two mentioned techniques are basically described and then applied in the solving of two minimization problems. Several coarse models are tried, both from a two and a three level perspective. The results with these simple tests confirm the speed-up expected for the multi-level approach.
