Abstract

In this study, a new idealization to the exhaustive search optimization problem is given, Three formulations are given to a design-engineering problem using standard arrays: these are L243/ L27 OA, L27/ L108 OA and L81/ L108 OA and their sub-families. We found that certain idealizations, though realistic are still considered NP hard problems. As a remedy, a new exhaustive sequential algorithm is developed that solves NP hard problems in n sequential stages. Both the deterministic and statistical solutions are given and conclusions are drawn regarding their convergence properties. Composite arrays are developed out of the standard ones and simulations results indicate that certain composite arrays have better variance and convergence properties than other standard ones. These results are considered as part of the authors’ work to develop efficient statistical optimization techniques. Review of optimization related literatures indicates the strong need for development of global optimization techniques. A st...
