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

This journal is intended to serve as a forum to exchange ideas and results for the advancement of software engineering and knowledge engineering.

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 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.

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 ...

Multiple Zeta Function: A generalisation of the Riemann zeta function that involves iterated summations over several variables with exponents, capturing complex combinatorial and arithmetic ...
