Space mapping

The space mapping methodology was first discovered by John Bandler in 1993. It uses relevant existing knowledge to speed up model generation and design optimization of a system. The knowledge is updated with new validation information from the system when available. It has wide application in modeling and design optimization of engineering systems.

Concept

The space mapping methodology employs a "quasi-global" formulation that intelligently links companion "coarse" (ideal or low-fidelity) and "fine" (practical or high-fidelity) models of different complexities. In engineering design, space mapping aligns a very fast coarse model with the expensive-to-compute fine model so as to avoid direct expensive optimization of the fine model. The alignment can be done either off-line (model enhancement) or on-the-fly with surrogate updates (e.g., aggressive space mapping).

Methodology

At the core of the process is a pair of models: one very accurate but too expensive to use directly with a conventional optimization routine, and one significantly less expensive and, accordingly, less accurate. The latter (fast model) is usually referred to as the "coarse" model (coarse space). The former (slow model) is usually referred to as the fine model. A validation space (“reality”) represents the fine model, for example, a high-fidelity physics model. The optimization space, where conventional optimization is carried out, incorporates the coarse model (or surrogate model), for example, the low-fidelity physics or “knowledge” model. In a space-mapping design optimization phase, there is a prediction or “execution” step, where the results of an optimized "mapped coarse model" (updated surrogate) are assigned to the fine model for validation. After the validation process, if the design specifications are not satisfied, relevant data is transferred to the optimization space (“feedback”), where the mapping-augmented coarse model or surrogate is updated (enhanced, realigned with the fine model) through an iterative optimization process termed “parameter extraction.” The mapping formulation itself incorporates “intuition,” part of the engineer's so-called “feel” for a problem.[1] In particular, the Aggressive Space Mapping (ASM) process displays key characteristics of cognition (an expert's approach to a problem), and is often illustrated in simple cognitive terms.

Development

Following John Bandler's concept in 1993,[1][2] algorithms have utilized Broyden updates (aggressive space mapping),[3] trust regions,[4] and artificial neural networks.[5] New developments include implicit space mapping,[6] in which we allow preassigned parameters not used in the optimization process to change in the coarse model, and output space mapping, where a transformation is applied to the response of the model. A paper reviews the state of the art after the first ten years of development and implementation.[7] Tuning space mapping[8] utilizes a so-called tuning model—constructed invasively from the fine model—as well as a calibration process that translates the adjustment of the optimized tuning model parameters into relevant updates of the design variables. The space mapping concept has been extended to neural-based space mapping for large-signal statistical modeling of nonlinear microwave devices.[9][10]

A 2016 state-of-the-art review is devoted to aggressive space mapping.[11] It spans two decades of development and engineering applications.

The space mapping methodology can also be used to solve inverse problems. Proven techniques include the Linear Inverse Space Mapping (LISM) algorithm,[12] as well as the Space Mapping with Inverse Difference (SM-ID) method.[13]

Category

Space mapping optimization belongs to the class of surrogate-based optimization methods, [14] that is to say, optimization methods that rely on a surrogate model.

Applications

The space mapping technique has been applied in a variety of disciplines including microwave and electromagnetic design, civil and mechanical applications, aerospace engineering, and biomedical research. Some examples:

Simulators

Various simulators can be involved in a space mapping optimization and modeling processes.

Conferences

Three international workshops have focused significantly on the art, the science and the technology of space mapping.
