Abstract

The majority of engineering optimization problems (design, identification, design of controlled systems, optimization of large-scale systems, operational development of prototypes, and so on) are essentially multicriteria. The correct determination of the feasible solution set is a major challenge in engineering optimization problems. In order to construct the feasible solution set, a method called PSI (Parameter Space Investigation) has been created and successfully integrated into various fields of industry, science, and technology. Owing to the PSI method, it has become possible to formulate and solve a wide range of multicriteria optimization problems. In addition to giving an overview of the PSI method, this paper also describes the methods for approximation of the feasible and Pareto optimal solution sets, identification, decomposition, and aggregation of the large-scale systems.

Notes

  1. After the analysis of the test tables and the correction of the functional constraints, some of the unfeasible solutions can become feasible ones [1, 7].
