Adapting Response Surface Methods for the Optimization of Black-Box Systems

Complex mathematical models are often built to describe a physical process that would otherwise be extremely difficult, too costly or sometimes impossible to analyze. Generally, these models require solutions to many partial differential equations. As a result, the computer codes may take a consider...
