3 Introduction Interactive process The basic steps in interactive algorithms find an initial feasible solution, interact with the decision maker, and obtain a new solution (or a set of new solutions). If the new solution (or one of them) or one of the previous solutions is acceptable to the decision maker, stop. Otherwise, go to the previous step. Nikulin & Karelkina (UTU) PASFs in ICP Malaga, 17 June / 29

4 Introduction Two major requirements are set for a scalarizing function (Y. Sawaragi, H. Nakayama and T. Tanino, Theory of multiobjective optimization, Academic Press, Orlando, 1985) correctness: every solution found by means of scalarization should be (weakly) Pareto optimal, and completeness: it should be able to cover the entire set of Pareto optimal solutions. Nikulin & Karelkina (UTU) PASFs in ICP Malaga, 17 June / 29

5 Basic notations and definitions f(x) = (f 1 (x), f 2 (x),..., f m (x)) x X min f i(x), i N m = {1, 2,...,m} x X A set of minima of the i th objective function If M i (X) = arg min x X f i(x), i N m m M i (X), i=1 then there exists at least one solution which delivers a minimum for all objectives. Such a solution can be called an ideal solution. Nikulin & Karelkina (UTU) PASFs in ICP Malaga, 17 June / 29

6 Basic notations and definitions Pareto optimality P m (X) A decision vector x X is Pareto optimal if there exists no x X such that f i (x) f i (x ) for all i N m and f j (x) < f j (x ) for at least one index j. Slater optimality Sl m (X) A decision vector x X is weakly Pareto optimal if there exists no x X such that f i (x) < f i (x ) for all i N m. Nikulin & Karelkina (UTU) PASFs in ICP Malaga, 17 June / 29

7 Basic notations and definitions Ideal and nadir objective vectors f I = (f I 1,...,f I m ) and f N = (f N 1,..., f N m ) f I i f N i = min x P m (X) f i(x), i N m, = max x P m (X) f i(x), i N m. Nikulin & Karelkina (UTU) PASFs in ICP Malaga, 17 June / 29

8 Achievement scalarizing functions Achievement scalarizing functions A. P. Wierzbicki, The use of reference objectives in multiobjective optimization. Lecture notes in economics and mathematical systems, 177 (1980) s R : R m R The scalarized problem min s R(f(x)) (1) x X 1 Increasing, if for any y 1, y 2 R m, yi 1 yi 2 for all i N m, then s R (y 1 ) s R (y 2 ). 2 Strictly increasing, if for any y 1, y 2 R m, yi 1 < yi 2 for all i N m, then s R (y 1 ) < s R (y 2 ). 3 Strongly increasing, if for any y 1, y 2 R m, yi 1 yi 2 for all i N m and y 1 y 2, then s R (y 1 ) < s R (y 2 ).

9 Achievement scalarizing functions Optimality conditions for ASFs Theorem 1 Let s R be strongly (strictly) increasing. If x X is an optimal solution of problem (1), then x is (weakly) Pareto optimal. 2 If s R is increasing and the solution of (1) x X is unique, then x is Pareto optimal. Theorem If s R is strictly increasing and x X is weakly Pareto optimal, then it is a solution of (1) with f R = f(x ) and the optimal value of s R is zero.
