1Loss of information
If traditional design optimization tools are used, then basic optimization functions can be performed, but the ability to map unique interactions between design variables, operational constraints, and performance objectives is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces tensor networks as an intermediary mathematical framework that mediates between design variables, constraints, and objectives. The tensor network decomposition represents complex interactions through a series of interconnected tensors, each capturing specific relationship patterns. This intermediary structure enables systematic mapping of interactions without requiring direct complex computations between all variables simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complex optimization problem into multiple manageable components through tensor decomposition. Each tensor in the network represents a specific interaction pattern or relationship type, allowing the system to process and analyze interactions in discrete, manageable segments rather than as a monolithic complex system.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive analysis of multiple constraints and interactions is performed, then deeper insights into the optimization landscape are obtained, but computational efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary decomposition of the optimization problem into tensor network components before executing the full optimization analysis. By pre-establishing the tensor network structure with appropriate decomposition, the system prepares the computational framework in advance, enabling more efficient execution of subsequent analysis while maintaining comprehensive coverage of interactions and constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic contraction strategies where the tensor network can be adaptively evaluated based on specific query requirements. The network structure remains comprehensive for capturing all interactions, but the contraction process can dynamically focus computational resources on specific regions or relationships of interest, balancing completeness with efficiency.
