A SQP type method for constrained multiobjective optimization

We propose an SQP type method for constrained nonlinear multiobjective optimization. The proposed algorithm maintains a list of nondominated points that is improved both for spread along the Pareto front and optimality by solving singleobjective constrained optimization problems. Under appropriate differentiability assumptions we discuss convergence to local optimal Pareto points. We provide numerical results for … Read more

A Theoretical and Algorithmic Characterization of Bulge Knees

This paper deals with the problem of finding convex bulges on the Pareto-front of a multi-objective optimization problem. The point of maximum bulge is of particular interest as this point shows good trade-off properties and it is also close to the non-attainable utopia point. Our approach is to use a population based algorithm to simultaneously … Read more

A New Method for Optimizing a Linear Function over the Efficient Set of a Multiobjective Integer Program

We present a new algorithm for optimizing a linear function over the set of efficient solutions of a multiobjective integer program MOIP. The algorithm’s success relies on the efficiency of a new algorithm for enumerating the nondominated points of a MOIP, which is the result of employing a novel criterion space decomposition scheme which (1) … Read more

Beam Search for integer multi-objective optimization

Beam search is a tree search procedure where, at each level of the tree, at most W nodes are kept. This results in a metaheuristic whose solving time is polynomial in W. Popular for single-objective problems, beam search has only received little attention in the context of multi-objective optimization. By introducing the concepts of oracle … Read more

Robust optimization based EV charging

With the introduction of new technologies like electric vehicles and smart grids the operation and planning of power systems are subject to major changes. These technologies can bring various ftexibilities to different entities involved in decision making. This paper proposes a robust optimization based method to optimal charging/discharging of electric vehicles con­ sidering the electricity … Read more

An external penalty-type method for multicriteria

We propose an extension of the classical real-valued external penalty method to the multicriteria optimization setting. As its single objective counterpart, it also requires an external penalty function for the constraint set, as well as an exogenous divergent sequence of nonnegative real numbers, the so-called penalty parameters, but, differently from the scalar procedure, the vector-valued … Read more

Set approach for set optimization with variable ordering structures

This paper aims at combining variable ordering structures with set relations in set optimization, which have been defined using the constant ordering cone before. Since the purpose is to connect these two important approaches in set optimization, we do not restrict our considerations to one certain relation. Conversely, we provide the reader with many new … Read more

Sample approximations of multiobjective stochastic optimization problems

The article describes approximation technique for solving multiobjective stochastic optimization problems. As a generalized model of a stochastic system to be optimized a vector “input — random output” system is used. Random outputs are converted into a vector of deterministic performance/risk indicators. The problem is to find those inputs that correspond to Pareto-optimal values of … Read more

A new bottom-up search method for determining all maximal efficient faces in multiple objective linear programming

Bottom-up search methods for determining the efficient set of a multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) problem have a valuable advantage that they can quickly give efficient subsets of the MOLP problem to the decision makers. Main difficulties of the previously appeared bottom-up search methods are finding all efficient extreme points adjacent to and enumerating all … Read more

The global weak sharp minima with explicit exponents in polynomial vector optimization problems

In this paper we discuss the global weak sharp minima property for vector optimization problems with polynomial data. Exploiting the imposed polynomial structure together with tools of variational analysis and a quantitative version of \L ojasiewicz’s gradient inequality due to D’Acunto and Kurdyka, we establish the H\”older type global weak sharp minima with explicitly calculated … Read more
