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:

    Men decide far more problems by hate, love, lust, rage, sorrow, joy, hope, fear, illusion, or some other inward emotion than by reality, authority, any legal standard, judicial precedent, or statute.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
