Abstract

In this chapter, a wider definition of the AROP is provided. It is extended to include problems that involve multiple objectives, which are very common in real-world design. ChapterĀ 3 introduced AROPs with one objective function that may be sensitive to various types of uncertainties. Whenever the uncertain conditions change, a single-objective optimization problem needs to be solved in order to find the new optimal configuration. Therefore, a one-to-one mapping between the realization of the uncertain variables and the optimal configuration exists.

Notes

  1. 1.

    However, the dominance relations between the solutions on the curve depend on \(p_2\) as well.

  2. 2.

    The non-dominated solutions among the optimal trade-off curve appear with symbols. Since the same eleven configurations are used for all scenarios, the symbols in Fig.Ā 4.4a overlay at some points.

  3. 3.

    The extreme objective vectors are either based on previous knowledge of the problem at hand, or on current understanding of the objective space.

  4. 4.

    The normalization can express decision-makerā€™s preferences by setting the worst objective vector elements to values different than one.

  5. 5.

    EAs are a popular tool for solving difficult MOPs, but other classes of multi-objective optimizers that can exploit these indicators can also be used.

  6. 6.

    The nested optimizer can be any algorithm for multi-objective optimization.

  7. 7.

    The number of function evaluations of the inner and outer algorithms can be either fixed or subject to variations according to the termination criteria.
