On-the-fly path planning for the design of compositional gradients in high dimensions by Samuel Price, Zhaoxi Cao, Ian McCue

“…In this work, it is demonstrated that this limitation can be overcome using a combination of on-the-fly sampling and a conjectured corollary of the lever rule for transformations of isothermal paths in arbitrary compositional dimensions. The effectiveness of this new method is quantitatively benchmarked, and it is found that it can be as much as 106 times more efficient than surrogate modeling.…”
