Multiobjective design optimisation: A microeconomics-inspired strategy applied to electromagnetics
Paolo Di Barba · International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics · 2005
In the paper the method of gradient balance is revisited from microeconomics and proposed in electromagnetics as an alternative formulation of a design optimisation problem, characterized by two objective functions; this formulation exploits the design space directly. Accordingly, a numerical procedure to approximate a non-dominated solution was implemented; after validating the numerical procedure by means of an analytical benchmark, a field-based case study was developed.
