Variable-fidelity modeling (VFM)

VFM is a variable-fidelity modeling method which can use additive, multiplicative, or hybride bridge functions. SMT proposes only additive and multiplicative options.

In the additive method, high- and low-fidelity models, \(y_{\text{high}}({\bf x})\) and \(y_{\text{low}}({\bf x})\), are calibrated by adding the low-fidelity model to a function \(\gamma({\bf x})\), also called bridge function

\[y_\text{high}({\bf x})=y_\text{low}({\bf x}) + \gamma({\bf x})\]

The additive bridge function was developed by Lewis and Nash [1].

In the same way, the multiplicative bridge function is defined by

\[\gamma({\bf x})=\frac{y_\text{high}({\bf x})}{y_\text{low}({\bf x})}\]

However, the multiplicative bridge function may cause problems when one of the sampled values of the low-fidelity model is close to zero.

After the unknown bridge function \(\gamma\) and low-fidelity model \(y_\text{low}\) have been approximated with \(\hat{\gamma}\) and \(\hat{y}_\text{low}\), respectively, the response of the high-fidelity model is obtained
