MISSILE ENDGAME ANALYSIS VIA MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION

Missile Endgame Analysis via Multiobjective Optimization

The traditional approach to improving the lethality of a missile has been to concentrate efforts in the guidance and control systems to improve accuracy and agility. In this paper, we consider how optimizing the endgame, the final few milliseconds before detonation, can yield improvements in overall lethality. As there is likely to be uncertainty in both the target parameters and missile coordi...

Constrained Optimization via Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms

In this chapter, we present a survey of constraint-handling techniques based on evolutionary multiobjective optimization concepts. We present some basic definitions required to make this chapter self-contained, and then we introduce the way in which a global (single-objective) nonlinear optimization problem is transformed into an unconstrained multiobjective optimization problem. A taxonomy of ...

Facial Feature Tracking via Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization

Facial feature tracking for model–based coding has evolved over the past decades. Of particular interest is its application in very low bit rate coding in which optimization is used to analyze head and shoulder sequences. We present the results of a computational experiment in which we apply a combination of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and a deterministic search to find optimal faci...

Analysis and Applications of Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Algorithms Analysis and Applications of Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Algorithms

This thesis deals with the analysis and application of evolutionary algorithms for optimization problems with multiple objectives. Many application problems involve (i) a system model that is not given in closed analytical form and (ii) multiple, often conflicting optimization criteria. Both traits hamper the appli¬ cation of classical optimization techniques, which require a certain structure ...
