Abstract
Genetic Algorithms (GA) have some difficulties in practical applications because of too many function evaluations. To overcome these limitations, an approximated modeling method such as Response Surface Modeling(RSM) is coupled to GAs. Original RSM method predicts linear or convex problems well but it is not good for highly nonlinear problems cause of the average effect of the least square method(LSM). So the locally approximated methods. so called as moving least squares method(MLSM) have been used to reduce the error of LSM. In this study, the efficient evolutionary GAs tightly coupled with RSM with MLSM are constructed and then a 2-dimensional inviscid airfoil shape optimization is performed to show its efficiency.
