A combined interior point homotopy continuation method is proposed for solving general multiobjective programming problem. We prove the existence and convergence of a smooth homotopy path from almost any interior initial interior point to a solution of the KKT system under some basic assumptions.

We present a combined homotopy interior-point method for a general multiobjective programming problem. For solving the KKT points of the multiobjective programming problem, the homotopy equation is constructed. We prove the existence and convergence of a smooth homotopy path from almost any initial interior point to a solution of the KKT system under some basic assumptions.

AbstractThe goal of this work is to develop a numerical method combining Radial Basic Functions (RBF) kernel and a high order algorithm based on Taylor series and homotopy continuation method. The local RBF approximation applied in strong form allows us to overcome the difficulties of numerical integration and to treat problems of large deformations. Furthermore, the high order algorithm enables to transform the nonlinear problem to a set of linear problems. Determining the optimal value of the shape parameter in RBF kernel is still an outstanding research topic. This optimal value depends on density and distribution of points and the considered problem for e.g. boundary value problems, integral equations, delay-differential equations etc. These have been extensively attempts in literature which end up choosing this optimal value by tests and error or some other ad-hoc means. Our contribution in this paper is to suggest a new strategy using radial basis functions kernel with an automatic reasonable choice of the shape parameter in the nonlinear case which depends on the accuracy and stability of the results. The computational experiments tested on some examples in structural analysis are performed and the comparison with respect to the state of art algorithms from the literature is given.

Optimization problems with multiple criteria measuring solution quality can be modeled as multiobjective programming problems. Because the objective functions are usually in conflict, there is not a single feasible solution that can optimize all objective functions simultaneously. An optimal solution is one that is most preferred by the decision maker (DM) among all feasible solutions. An optimal solution must be nondominated but a multiobjective programming problem may have, possibly infinitely, many nondominated solutions. Therefore, tradeoffs must be made in searching for an optimal solution. Hence, the DM's preference information is elicited and used when a multiobjective programming problem is solved. The model, concepts and definitions of multiobjective programming are presented and solution methods are briefly discussed. Examples are used to demonstrate the concepts and solution methods. Graphics are used in these examples to facilitate understanding.
