Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to multiobjective engineering optimization: the generalized center method (GCM). A multiobjective problem is solved by calculating the centers of a sequence of level sets. These sets comprise intersections of the original constraints and level constraints imposed on objective functions. In view of the different dimensions and conflicting nature of multiple objectives, some scaling and trade-off procedures are implemented. Several engineering optimization examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
