Algorithm Validation

Overview

Validate forward calculations and optimization results against established software, public data, or analytical solutions.

Algorithm Validation contains independent calculations performed with controlled inputs. Unlike Case Studies, which reproduce application scenarios from published research, this section fixes material dispersion, layer structure, boundary conditions, sampling, and optimization targets to test whether independent software produces consistent spectra and design results.

Each validation record provides the shared inputs, configuration evidence from both programs, original outputs, and acceptance criteria. Agreement applies only to the stated model scope and inputs; it does not replace measurement, fabrication-tolerance analysis, or material-uncertainty analysis.

The recommended review sequence is to confirm the shared inputs, inspect the forward-calculation comparison, and then compare the optimization objective, variable bounds, and layer-by-layer thickness differences.
