Scalarizing Multiobjective Optimization Problems

Scalarizing a multiobjective optimization problem means formulating a single-objective optimization problems such that optimal solutions to the single-objective optimization problem are Pareto optimal solutions to the multiobjective optimization problem. With different parameters for the scalarization, different Pareto optimal solutions are produced. A well-known example is the so-called linear scalarization (see, e.g.,)


\min_{x\in X} \sum_{i=1}^k w_if_i(x),

where the weights of the objectives are the parameters of the scalarization.

Famous quotes containing the word problems:

    One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it’s remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver’s license.
