In linear programming, the objective function is the function that it is desired to maximize or minimize. The human interaction equivalent is what matters most. Agreement on that, and on the steps ...

An objective function translates vague aspirations like "improve efficiency" into precise mathematical targets that combine multiple factors with appropriate weights.

1. Effective decision-making in environmental management requires the consideration of multiple objectives that may conflict. Common optimization methods use weights on the multiple objectives to ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a useful technique for solving linear programmes involving more than one objective function. Motivation for solving multicriterion linear programmes is given ...

The thermal cloak-concentrator is not so easily effected by fluctuations of thermal conductivity and is designed by incorporating multiple objective functions under various thermal conductivities.
