The technique is useful if the fine model (the one that is supposed to be optimized) is available only on a structured grid. It allows us to estimate the response of the fine model at off\&\#8209;grid points and, as a result, increases the effective resolution of the design variable domain search and improves the quality of the fine model solution found by the {SM} optimization algorithm. The proposed method requires little computational effort; in particular no additional fine model evaluations are necessary. Several examples that verify accuracy and robustness of our approach are provided." }
