Multicriteria Optimization Problem for the Layout of a Complex Technical System

Abstract

The article makes an attempt to perform the process of simultaneous optimization of two or more objective functions in a given domain of definition. The task of multicriteria optimization consists in finding a vector of target variables that satisfies the imposed constraints and optimizes a vector function whose elements correspond to the target functions. These functions form a mathematical description of the satisfaction criterion and, as a rule, are mutually in conflict. This problem occurs in many areas of science and its solution can be applied to many complex mechanical assemblies and devices. Attempts to adapt existing equipment for operation in specific conditions do not allow solving the assigned tasks. The lack of scientifically grounded methods of forming the technical appearance and predicting the future values of the determining parameters hinders the development of this class of machines.
