in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

Design is a multi-objective decision-making process considering manufacturing, cost, aesthetics, usability among many other product attributes. The set of optimal solutions, the Pareto set, indicates the tradeoffs between objectives. Decision-makers generally select their own optima from the Pareto set based on personal preferences or other judgements. However, uncertainties from manufacturing ...

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...

In multidisciplinary optimization a designer solves a problem where there are different criteria usually contradicting each other. In general, the solution of such a problem is not unique. When seeking an optimal design, it is natural to exclude from the consideration any design solution which can be improved without deterioration of any discipline and violation of the constraints; in other wor...

In this paper, the concepts of Pareto H -eigenvalue and Pareto Z -eigenvalue are introduced for studying constrained minimization problem and the necessary and sufficient conditions of such eigenvalues are given. It is proved that a symmetric tensor has at least one Pareto H -eigenvalue (Pareto Z -eigenvalue). Furthermore, theminimumPareto H -eigenvalue (or Pareto Z -eigenvalue) of a symmetric ...

This paper deals with the problem of existence of compromise decisions and conditions for a compromise decision to be weakly Pareto-optimal, i.e., to be a weak Pareto-maximizer, Pareto-maximizer, or strong Pareto-maximizer. The concept of compromise decision is generalized by adopting triangular norms. Further, a concept of fuzzy interval is introduced. Suucient conditions for the existence of ...

the fisher information matrix for a mixture of two pareto distributions is derived. numericaltabulations of the matrix are also provided for practical purposes. the work is motivated by a real-lifeexample.

We propose a strategy for approximating Pareto optimal sets based on the global analysis framework proposed by Smale [Global analysis and economics. I. Pareto optimum and a generalization of Morse theory, in Dynamical Systems, Academic Press, New York, 1973, pp. 531–544]. The method highlights and exploits the underlying manifold structure of the Pareto sets, approximating Pareto optima by mean...

Using the method of generic continuity of set-valued mappings, this paper studies the stability of weakly Pareto-Nash and Pareto-Nash equilibria for multiobjective population games, when payoff functions are perturbed. More precisely, the paper investigates the continuity properties of the set of weakly Pareto-Nash equilibria and that of the set of Pareto-Nash equilibria under sufficiently smal...
