Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for constrained effcient global optimization (EGO) using support vector machines (SVMs). The proposed SVM-based method has several advantages. It is more general because it is applicable to a wider variety of problems compared to current techniques. These include problems with discontinuous and binary (pass/fail) states and multiple constraints. In this paper, the objective function is ap- proximated using Kriging while the constraint boundary is approximated using an SVM classifier. The probability of misclassification by the SVM is calculated using a probabilistic support vector machine (PSVM). The existing PSVM models have certain limitations that make them unsuitable for application in the proposed methodology. Therefore, a modified PSVM model is also proposed to overcome these limitations. Several constrained EGO for- mulations are implemented and compared in this paper. The results are also compared to EGO implementations with Kriging-based constraint approximations from the literature.
