TLDR
An iterative approach based on Monte Carlo Simulation and Kriging metamodel to assess the reliability of structures in a more efficient way and is shown to be very efficient as the probability of failure obtained with AK-MCS is very accurate and this, for only a small number of calls to the performance function.

A combined Importance Sampling and Kriging reliability method for small failure probabilities with time-demanding numerical models

TL;DR: An original and easily implementable method called AK-IS for active learning and Kriging-based Importance Sampling, based on the AK-MCS algorithm, that enables the correction or validation of the FORM approximation with only a very few mechanical model computations.

Metamodel-based importance sampling for structural reliability analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use a Kriging surrogate for the performance function as a means to build a quasi-optimal importance sampling density, which can be applied to analytical and finite element reliability problems and proves efficient up to 100 basic random variables.

Assessing small failure probabilities by AK–SS: An active learning method combining Kriging and Subset Simulation

TL;DR: AK–SS: an active learning method combining Kriging model and SS can provide accurate solutions more efficiently, making it a promising approach for structural reliability analyses involving small failure probabilities, high-dimensional performance functions, and time-consuming simulation codes in practical engineering.

Polynomial-Chaos-based Kriging

TL;DR: PC-Kriging is derived as a new non-intrusive meta-modeling approach combining PCE and Kriging, which approximates the global behavior of the computational model whereas Kriged manages the local variability of the model output.

Efficient Global Optimization of Expensive Black-Box Functions

TL;DR: This paper introduces the reader to a response surface methodology that is especially good at modeling the nonlinear, multimodal functions that often occur in engineering and shows how these approximating functions can be used to construct an efficient global optimization algorithm with a credible stopping rule.

An Automatic Method for Solving Discrete Programming Problems

TL;DR: In the late 1950s there was a group of teachers and research assistants at the London School of Economics interested in linear programming and its extensions, in particular Helen Makower, George Morton, Ailsa Land and Alison Doig.

Lipschitzian optimization without the Lipschitz constant

TL;DR: In this article, the Lipschitz constant is viewed as a weighting parameter that indicates how much emphasis to place on global versus local search, which accounts for the fast convergence of the new algorithm on the test functions.
