Abstract

Kriging surrogate modelling facilitates efficient decision making regarding where to place the next point for evaluation during optimisation. This is particularly helpful in the design of electromagnetic devices where computationally expensive numerical field modelling needs to be used. The disadvantage, however, is that correlation matrices are required which, for problems with many design variables and multiple objectives, may grow in size leading to the need for page swapping and thus slowing down of what in principle should be a very fast process. In this study several methodologies to reduce the computational resources required in such problems are proposed. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated using an example of a large multi-parameter optimisation problem where kriging coupled with the average gradient value method is employed.
