Abstract: Engineering design optimization often gives rise to problems in which expensive objective functions are minimized by derivative-free methods. We propose a method for solving such problems that synthesizes ideas from the numerical optimization and computer experiment literatures. Our approach relies on kriging known function values to construct a sequence of surrogate models of the objective function that are used to guide a grid search for a minimizer. Results from numerical experiments on a... (Update)

.... Furthermore, recent analysis extends their applicability to optimization problems with general nonlinear constraints [9] Our approach [21] synthesizes recent ideas from both the numerical optimization and the computer experiments literature. Given a limited budget of...

.... requires additional but straightforward conditions on such quantities as x 0 , #, # 0 , and the pattern matrices P k (see, for instance, [17]) A related but more subtle di#culty is that the relative sizes of the steps in the core pattern and the remaining points in the pattern...
