Pareto Ranking Bisection Algorithm for Expedited Multi-Objective Optimization of Antenna Structures
PublicationThe purpose of this letter is introduction of a novel methodology for expedited multi-objective design of antenna structures. The key component of the presented approach is fast identification of the initial representation of the Pareto front (i.e., a set of design representing the best possible trade-offs between conflicting objectives) using a Pareto-ranking bisection algorithm. The algorithm finds a discrete set of Pareto-optimal...

Generalized Pareto ranking bisection for computationally feasible multi-objective antenna optimization
PublicationMulti-objective optimization (MO) allows for obtaining comprehensive information about possible design trade-offs of a given antenna structure. Yet, executing MO using the most popular class of techniques, population-based metaheuristics, may be computationally prohibitive when full-wave EM analysis is utilized for antenna evaluation. In this work, a low-cost and fully deterministic MO methodology is introduced. The proposed generalized...
