Data-Driven Global Optimization Methods and Applications (Hardcover)

This book presents recent advances in data-driven global optimization methods, combining theoretical foundations with real-world applications to address complex engineering optimization challenges.

The book begins with an overview of the state of the art, key technologies and standard benchmark problems in the field. It then delves into several innovative approaches: space reduction-based, hybrid surrogate model-based and multi-surrogate model-based global optimization, followed by surrogate-assisted constrained global optimization, discrete global optimization and high-dimensional global optimization. These methods represent a variety of optimization techniques that excel in both optimization capability and efficiency, making them ideal choices for complex engineering optimization problems. Through benchmark test problems and real-world engineering applications, the book illustrates the practical implementation of these methods, linking established theories with cutting-edge research in industrial and engineering optimization.

Both a professional book and an academic reference, this title will provide valuable insights for researchers, students, engineers and practitioners in a variety of fields, including optimization methods and algorithms, engineering design and manufacturing and artificial intelligence and machine learning.
