Asymmetrical evolutionary strategy with adaptive Bayesian optimization for robust design of complex electromechanical product
摘要
Minimax optimization is crucial for robust design, seeking optimal decisions under worst-case scenarios. However, existing algorithms face limitations in handling diverse problem types and suffer from computational inefficiency when dealing with expensive black-box functions. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel framework that integrates two key innovations: (1) an asymmetrical evolutionary strategy enabling reliable optimization for both symmetric and asymmetric minimax problems and (2) a Bayesian optimization component tailored for expensive simulation-based objectives without closed-form expressions. The proposed method advances robustness and computational efficiency compared to conventional approaches. Comprehensive experiments on eight benchmarks and five state-of-the-art methods demonstrate superior performance. Practical validation in real-world engineering applications further underscores its effectiveness for robust product design under uncertainty.
