An effective hybrid algorithm is proposed for solving multiobjective optimization engineering problems with inequality constraints. The weighted sum technique and BFGS quasi-Newton’s method are combined to determine a descent search direction for solving multiobjective optimization problems. To improve the computational efficiency and maintain rapid convergence, a cautious BFGS iterative format is utilized to approximate the Hessian matrices of the objective functions instead of evaluating them exactly. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through a comparison study, which is based on numerical examples. Meanwhile, we propose an effective multiobjective optimization strategy based on the algorithm in conjunction with the surrogate model method. This proposed strategy has been applied to the crashworthiness design of the primary energy absorption device’s crash box structure and front rail under low-speed frontal collision. The optimal results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is promising in solving multiobjective optimization problems in engineering practice.

In order to solve the multiobjective optimization problems efficiently, this paper presents a hybrid multiobjective optimization algorithm which originates from invasive weed optimization (IWO) and multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D), a popular framework for multiobjective optimization. IWO is a simple but powerful numerical stochastic optimization method inspired from colonizing weeds; it is very robust and well adapted to changes in the environment. Based on the smart and distinct features of IWO and MOEA/D, we introduce multiobjective invasive weed optimization algorithm based on decomposition, abbreviated as MOEA/D-IWO, and try to combine their excellent features in this hybrid algorithm. The efficiency of the algorithm both in convergence speed and optimality of results are compared with MOEA/D and some other popular multiobjective optimization algorithms through a big set of experiments on benchmark functions. Experimental results show the competitive performance of MOEA/D-IWO in solving these complicated multiobjective optimization problems.

A calmness condition for a general multiobjective optimization problem with equilibrium constraints is proposed. Some exact penalization properties for two classes of multiobjective penalty problems are established and shown to be equivalent to the calmness condition. Subsequently, a Mordukhovich stationary necessary optimality condition based on the exact penalization results is obtained. Moreover, some applications to a multiobjective optimization problem with complementarity constraints and a multiobjective optimization problem with weak vector variational inequality constraints are given.

In this paper, we establish strong complementary approximate Karush- Kuhn-Tucker (SCAKKT) sequential optimality conditions for multiobjective optimization problems with equality and inequality constraints without any constraint qualifications and introduce a weak constraint qualification which assures the equivalence between SCAKKT and the strong Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (J Optim Theory Appl 80 (3): 483{500, 1994) conditions for multiobjective optimization problems.

T. Maeda gave some constraint qualifications to get positive Lagrange multipliers associated with the vector-valued objective function and under these conditions, he derived Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type necessary conditions for inequality constraints. In this paper, we have defined these Maeda-type constraint qualifications under different sets and have derived KKT type necessary conditions for both equality and inequality constraints. GANIT J.

The present paper deals with a duality study associated with a new class of multiobjective optimization problems that include the interval-valued components of the ratio vector. More precisely, by using the new notion of (ρ,ψ,d)-quasiinvexity associated with an interval-valued multiple-integral functional, we formulate and prove weak, strong, and converse duality results for the considered class of variational control problems.

AbstractThis study presents the modeling of the multiobjective optimization problem in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The uncertain parameters are depicted as intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and the crisp version is obtained using the ranking function method. Also, we have developed a novel interactive neutrosophic programming approach to solve multiobjective optimization problems. The proposed method involves neutral thoughts while making decisions. Furthermore, various sorts of membership functions are also depicted for the marginal evaluation of each objective simultaneously. The different numerical examples are presented to show the performances of the proposed solution approach. A case study of the cloud computing pricing problem is also addressed to reveal the real-life applications. The practical implication of the current study is also discussed efficiently. Finally, conclusions and future research scope are suggested based on the proposed work.

Interactive methods are useful decision-making tools for multiobjective optimization problems, because they allow a decision-maker to provide her/his preference information iteratively in a comfortable way at the same time as (s)he learns about all different aspects of the problem. A wide variety of interactive methods is nowadays available, and they differ from each other in both technical aspects and type of preference information employed. Therefore, assessing the performance of interactive methods can help users to choose the most appropriate one for a given problem. This is a challenging task, which has been tackled from different perspectives in the published literature. We present a bibliographic survey of papers where interactive multiobjective optimization methods have been assessed (either individually or compared to other methods). Besides other features, we collect information about the type of decision-maker involved (utility or value functions, artificial or human decision-maker), the type of preference information provided, and aspects of interactive methods that were somehow measured. Based on the survey and on our own experiences, we identify a series of desirable properties of interactive methods that we believe should be assessed.
