  10. What’s Going On Here? • Multipurpose system • Conflicting objectives • Tradeoffs between uses: Recreation vs. irrigation • No “unique” solution • Let each use j have an objective Zj(x) • We want to

  11. Multiobjective Problem • Single objective problem: • Identify optimal solution, e.g., feasible solution that gives best objective value. That is, we obtain a full ordering of the alternative solutions. • Multiobjective problem • We obtain only a partial ordering of the alternative solutions. Solution which optimizes one objective may not optimize the others • Noninferiority replaces optimality

  12. Example • Flood control project for historic city with scenic waterfront

  13. Example • Does gain in scenic beauty outweigh $100k loss in NB? (Alt 4  2) • Alternative 2 is better than Alternatives 1 and 3 with respect to both objectives. Never choose 1 or 3. They are inferior solutions. • Alternatives 2 and 4 are not dominated by other alternatives. They are noninferior solutions.

  14. Z2 Noninferior solutions A 14 C Feasible region 10 B 5 16 5 3 Z1 Noninferior Solutions(Pareto Optimal) • A feasible solution is noninferior • if there exists no other feasible solution that will yield an improvement in one objective w/o causing a decrease in at least one other objective • (A & B are noninferior, C is inferior) • All interior solutions are inferior • move to the boundary by increasing one objective w/o decreasing another • C is inferior • Northeast rule: • A feasible solution is noninferior if there are no feasible solutions lying to the northeast (when maximizing) Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto

  15. Decision Space Noninferior set x2 Z2 E D 4 1 2 Z1 F C Feasible Region 3 B A x1 Example Evaluate the extreme points in decision space (x1, x2) and get objective function values in objective space (Z1, Z2)

  16. Z2 E F Objective Space D Noninferior set Feasible Region C A Z1 B Example (continued) • Noninferior set contains solutions that are not dominated by other feasible solutions. • Noninferior solutions are not comparable: C: 26 units Z1; 2 units Z2 D: 12 units Z1; 12 units Z2 • Which is better? Is it worth giving up 14 units of Z2 to gain 10 units of Z1 to move from D to C?

  17. Z2 E D C A Z1 B Tradeoffs • Tradeoff = Amount of one objective sacrificed to gain an increase in another objective, i.e., to move from one noninferior solution to another • Example: Tradeoff between Z1 and Z2 in moving from D to C is 14/10, i.e., 7/5 unit of Z1 is given up to gain 1 unit of Z2 and vice versa

  18. Multiobjective Methods • Information flow in the decision making process • Top down: Decision maker (DM) to analyst (A) • Preferences are sent to A by DM, then best compromise solution is sent by A to DM • Preference methods • Bottom up: A to DM • Noninferior set and tradeoffs are sent by A to DM • Generating methods

  19. Methods • Generating methods • Present a range of choice and tradeoffs among objectives to DM • Weighting method • Constraint method • Others • Preference methods • DM must articulate preferences to A. The means of articulation distinguishes the methods • Noninterative methods: Articulate preferences in advance • Goal programming method, Surrogate Worth Tradeoff method • Iterative methods: Some information about noninferior set is available to DM and preferences are updated • Step Method

  20. Weighting Method • Vary the weights over reasonable ranges to generate a wide range of alternative solutions reflecting different priorities.

  21. Constraint Method • Optimize one objective while all others are constrained to some particular bound • Solutions are noninferior solutions if correct values of the bounds (Lk) are used

  22. Example – Amu Darya River • Multiple Objectives • Maximize water supply to irrigation • Maximize flow to the Aral Sea • Minimize salt concentration in the system
