Approximating the Pareto Front of Multi-criteria Optimization Problems

چکیده
We propose a general methodology for approximating the Pareto front of multi-criteria optimization problems. Our search-based methodology consists of submitting queries to a constraint solver. Hence, in addition to a set of solutions, we can guarantee bounds on the distance to the actual Pareto front and use this distance to guide the search. Our implementation, which computes and updates the distance efficiently, has been tested on numerous examples.

An effective method based on the angular constraint to detect Pareto points in bi-criteria optimization problems
The most important issue in multi-objective optimization problems is to determine the Pareto points along the Pareto frontier. If the optimization problem involves multiple conflicting objectives, the results obtained from the Pareto-optimality will have the trade-off solutions that shaping the Pareto frontier. Each of these solutions lies at the boundary of the Pareto frontier, such that the i...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Constructing the Pareto Front of Bi-objective Optimization Problems
Here, scalarization techniques for multi-objective optimization problems are addressed. A new scalarization approach, called unified Pascoletti-Serafini approach, is utilized and a new algorithm to construct the Pareto front of a given bi-objective optimization problem is formulated. It is shown that we can restrict the parameters of the scalarized problem. The computed efficient points provide...
متن کاملDiversity Oriented Local Search for Multi-criteria Optimization
We develop a generic tool for approximating the Pareto front of multicriteria optimization problems using stochastic local search algorithms. Our algorithmic scheme handles problems that the multi-criteria context introduces into the local search framework such as the non-uniqueness of the best neighbor and the potentially large size of the Pareto front. We demonstrate the performance of our al...
متن کاملA FAST FUZZY-TUNED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION FOR SIZING PROBLEMS
The most recent approaches of multi-objective optimization constitute application of meta-heuristic algorithms for which, parameter tuning is still a challenge. The present work hybridizes swarm intelligence with fuzzy operators to extend crisp values of the main control parameters into especial fuzzy sets that are constructed based on a number of prescribed facts. Such parameter-less particle ...
متن کاملThe Quasi-Normal Direction (QND) Method: An Efficient Method for Finding the Pareto Frontier in Multi-Objective Optimization Problems
In managerial and economic applications, there appear problems in which the goal is to simultaneously optimize several criteria functions (CFs). However, since the CFs are in conflict with each other in such cases, there is not a feasible point available at which all CFs could be optimized simultaneously. Thus, in such cases, a set of points, referred to as 'non-dominate' points (NDPs), will be...
