Manifold mapping for multilevel optimization

We first show the idea behind a space-mapping iteration technique for the efficient solution of optimization problems. Then we show how space-mapping optimization can be understood in the framework of defect correction. We observe a difference between the solution of the optimization problem and the computed space-mapping solutions. We repair this discrepancy by exploiting the correspondence with defect correction iteration and we construct the manifold-mapping algorithm, which is as efficient as the space-mapping algorithm but converges to the accurate solution.
