Pareto-optimal solutions are one of the most important and well-studied solution concepts in multi-objective optimization. Often the enumeration of all Pareto-optimal solutions is used to filter out unreasonable trade-offs between different criteria. While in practice, often only few Pareto-optimal solutions are observed, for almost every problem with at least two objectives there exist instanc...

a multi-objective optimization procedure has been developed to determine some kinetic parameters of free radical polymerization of vinyl acetate based on genetic algorithm. for this purpose, mathematical modeling of free radical polymerization of vinyl acetate is carried out first and then selected kinetic parameters are optimized by minimizing objective functions defined from comparing experim...

Many practical optimization problems usually have several conflicting objectives. In those multi-objective optimization, no solution optimizing all objective functions simultaneously exists in general. Instead, Pareto optimal solutions, which are “efficient” in terms of all objective functions, are introduced. In general we have many Pareto optimal solutions. Therefore, we need to decide a fina...

Recent research on evolutionary multiobjective optimization has mainly focused on Pareto-fronts. However, we state that proper behavior of the utilized algorithms in decision/search space is necessary for obtaining good results if multimodal objective functions are concerned. Therefore, it makes sense to observe the development of Pareto-sets as well. We do so on a simple, configurable problem,...

suspension system as one of the most important key elements of vehicle has always been considered by research centres and auto makers over the world and this issue is more important on sport cars which have special sensitive working conditions and even the smallest defect can strongly affect their performances. in this study, optimization of effective handling parameters of a sport car with thr...

Most engineering optimization uses multiple objective functions rather than single objective function. To realize an artificial life algorithm based multi-objective optimization, this paper proposes a Pareto artificial life algorithm that is capable of searching Pareto set for multi-objective function solutions. The Pareto set of optimum solutions is found by applying two objective functions fo...
