Abstract:
The noninferior set of multicriteria optimization problems may sometimes include some inactive subset in which a scalar-valued objective function of weighted-mean type cannot be minimal. It is shown that there exists such an inactive noninferior subset within the noninferior set of two multicriteria optimization problems concerning a cross-current multistage extraction process and a fluidized reactor-heater system.
