Pareto front optimization has been commonly used for balancing trade-offs between different estimated responses. Using maximum likelihood or least squares point estimates or the worst case confidence bound values of the response surface, it is straightforward to find preferred locations in the input factor space that simultaneously perform well for the various responses. A new approach is propo...

The main approach to smooth Pareto surface navigation for radiation therapy multi-criteria treatment planning involves taking real-time averages of pre-computed treatment plans. In fluencebased treatment planning, fluence maps themselves can be averaged, which leads to the dose distributions being averaged due to the linear relationship between fluence and dose. This works for fluence-based pho...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...

In many real-world applications, the problem arises that several objectives have to be optimized concurrently leading to a multi-objective optimization problem. Since these goals are typically contradictory, it comes as no surprise that the solution set— the so-called Pareto set—of such problems does (in general) not consist of one single solution. Moreover, under some mild conditions, this set...

A multiobjective programming algorithm may find multiple nondominated solutions. If these solutions are scattered more uniformly over the Pareto frontier in the objective space, they are more different choices and hence their quality is better. In this paper, we propose a quality measure called U-measure to measure the uniformity of a given set of nondominated solutions over the Pareto frontier...

this paper uses integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) and then applies integrated dea ranking method as a criterion to modify genetic algorithm (ga) for finding pareto optimal solutions of a multi objective programming (mop) problem. the researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify ga to d...

This paper introduces a variability-aware methodology for the design of LC-VCOs in Nano-CMOS technologies. The complexity of the design as well as the necessity for having an environment offering the possibility for exploring design trade-offs has led to the development of design methodologies based multi-objective optimization procedures yielding the generation of Pareto-optimal surfaces. The ...
