Construction of Uniform Designs over a Domain with Linear Constraints.

Uniform design is a powerful and robust experimental methodology that is particularly advantageous for multidimensional numerical integration and high-level experiments. As its applications expand across diverse disciplines, the theoretical foundation of uniform design continues to evolve. In real-world scenarios, experimental factors are often subject to one or more linear constraints, which pose challenges in constructing efficient designs within constrained high-dimensional experimental spaces. These challenges typically require sophisticated algorithms, which may compromise uniformity and robustness. Addressing these constraints is critical for reducing costs, improving model accuracy, and identifying global optima in optimization problems. However, existing research primarily focuses on unconstrained or minimally constrained hypercubes, leaving a gap in constructing designs tailored to arbitrary linear constraints. This study bridges this gap by extending the inverse Rosenblatt transformation framework to develop innovative methods for constructing uniform designs over arbitrary hyperplanes and hyperspheres within unit hypercubes. Explicit construction formulas for these constrained domains are derived, offering simplified calculations for practitioners and providing a practical solution applicable to a wide range of experimental scenarios. Numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of these methods, setting a new benchmark for uniform design in constrained experimental regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
