Gradient-Enhanced Kriging-Based Parallel Efficient Global Optimization Algorithm and Its Application in Aerodynamic Shape Optimization by Hang Fu, Qingyu Wang, Takuji Nakashima, Asahi Kawasaki, Chenguang Lai, Keigo Shimizu, Rahul Bale, Makoto Tsubokura

“…The integration serves two main purposes: on the one hand, GEK provides a more comprehensive representation of the design space, improving the surrogate model&#x2019;s predictive accuracy; on the other hand, as the number of infill points increases, GEK mitigates the unreliability of the pseudo expected improvement (PEI) function, facilitating the efficient search for high-quality global optima. To ensure high performance, various benchmark functions were used to evaluate the impact of different optimizers on the proposed system, ultimately identifying the most effective optimizer. …”
