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:

    Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
