“…In classical robust optimization, the sensitivity index of the objective function is consideredby estimating the maximum partial derivation, thus for a n-dimensional vector of design variables x 1 , x 2 , ... , x n , GI (x) defined as (2) Based on (2), the classical robust optimization algorithm is formulated as follows (3) where F is the target value of objective function f (x) assuming the design is a target-aimed design, whose objective function value is decided by the designers. Typically F is set to the optimal value obtained by solving the typical nonrobust optimization problem in (1).…”
