Overview

This volume presents innovative approaches to the selection of parameters in multicriteria optimization, making it possible to design higher-quality, lower-cost objects more efficently. Emphasizing the construction of the feasible solution set, the authors demonstrate state-of-the-art multicriteria optimization and identification, and illustrate the theory of uniform distribution of sequences. The focus of the book is the parameter space investigation (PSI) method of solution for a wide range of engineering problems in mechanisms, structures, and instruments. This book should be of interest to mechanical engineers.
