Minimax and maximin space-filling designs: some properties and methods for construction
[Plans d’expériences á remplissage d’espace minimax et maximin : quelques propriétés et méthodes de construction]
Journal de la société française de statistique, Tome 158 (2017) no. 1, pp. 7-36.

Cet article présente quelques propriétés de plans d’expériences minimax et maximin optimaux dans un compact de d , ainsi que leur relations avec d’autres plans “à remplissage d’espace”. Plusieurs méthodes sont indiquées pour l’évaluation du critère de distance minimax (ou dispersion) pour un plan donné à n points. Diverses méthodes d’optimisation sont proposées et leurs limitations sont indiquées, en particulier en terme de dimension d . La grande majorité des résultats présentés ne sont pas nouveaux, mais nous espérons que le lecteur trouvera utile de les voir réunis dans un seul document accompagné d’une bibliographie conséquente.

A few properties of minimax and maximin optimal designs in a compact subset of d are presented, and connections with other space-filling constructions are indicated. Several methods are given for the evaluation of the minimax-distance (or dispersion) criterion for a given n -point design. Various optimisation methods are proposed and their limitations, in particular in terms of dimension d , are indicated. A large majority of the results presented are not new, but their collection in a single document containing a respectable bibliography will hopefully be useful to the reader.

Keywords: computer experiments, space-filling design, minimax-optimal design, maximin-optimal design, sphere covering, sphere packing
