Abstract: | This paper describes and compares three approaches to solving design optimization problems with multiple conflicting objectives. The three techniques are described in detail and then applied lo an example which demonstrates how information is accumulated which leads to a logical and efficient multicriteria optimal design. The techniques employed (weighting, noninferior set estimation and constraint methods) ate compared to each other by considering their computational efficiencies and their abilities to produce an approximation of the Pareto optimal set. |
