β¦ Synopsis
AbstractΓThe development or selection of a material to meet given design requirements generally requires that a compromise be struck between several, usually conΒ―icting, objectives. The ways in which multiobjective optimization methods can be adapted to address this problem are explored. It is found that trade-o surfaces give a way of visualizing the alternative compromises, and that value functions (or ``utility'' functions ) identify the part of the surface on which optimal solutions lie. The method is illustrated with examples.

This paper presents a melhod for feasible decomposition applicable to large-scale, non-linear, multiobjective problems. The method, comprising a multi-level problem formulation and an interactive algorithm, has distinct advantages for dealing with real-world multi-objective optimization which is car
