Abstract

In many applications, several conflicting objectives have to be optimized concurrently leading to a multi-objective optimization problem. Since the set of solutions, the so-called Pareto set, typically forms a (k1)-dimensional manifold, where k is the number of objectives considered in the model, continuation methods such as predictor-corrector (PC) methods are in certain cases very efficient tools for rapidly computing a finite size representation of the set of interest. However, their classical implementation leads to trouble when considering higher-dimensional models (i.e. for dimension n>1000 of the parameter space). In this work, it is proposed to perform a successive approximation of the tangent space which allows one to find promising predictor points with less effort in particular for high-dimensional models since no Hessians of the objectives have to be calculated. The applicability of the resulting PC variant is demonstrated on a benchmark model for up to n=100, 000 parameters. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.
