By exploiting auxiliary models that are less accurate but much cheaper to compute, space-mapping has been reported to accelerate such procedures. However, the space-mapping solution does not always coincide with the accurate model optimum. We introduce manifold mapping, an improved version of space mapping that finds this precise solution with the same computational efficiency. By an example in linear actuator design we show that our technique delivers a significant speed-up compared to other optimization schemes.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65K10, 65M60, 65N55, 65Y20, 90C31

A trust-region strategy for manifold-mapping optimization

“…We emphasize that the MM-optimization method is not designed for such simple least squares problems, but for problems where the f -evaluation is quite expensive. Examples of such elaborate cases from practice can be found, e.g., in [8]. In the simple examples shown here, the coarse model is not specially adapted to the fine one, and particularly the last example shows what adverse effects can be expected in such cases.…”

Magnetic Material Characterization Using an Inverse Problem Approach

“…The proposed approach adapts the objective function to be minimized with the a priori misfit between fine and coarse forward models, in which the modeling error is represented in a stochastic way. The Bayesian approximation error approach is relatively fast and easy to implement compared to the two-level techniques, such as space mapping (Bandler et al, 2008), manifold mapping (Echeverría et al, 2006), two-level refined direct method , etc.…”

The state of the art of microwave CAD: EM-based optimization and modeling

“…Relations (6) and (7) can be enforced if the space-mapping surrogate explicitly uses fine model sensitivity information, e.g., as in the following model: (10) where is any space-mapping surrogate with parameters obtained with (4) and…”
