solver. First, the peculiar features of the algorithm are described with particular attention to its advantages when compared with more traditional evolutionary or gradient-based algorithms. Finally, the results of the optimizations carried out using different operating conditions are presented; starting from the optimal Pareto fronts, several solutions are selected and compared in terms of shapes and performance.
