Multiobjective Monotonicity Analysis: Pareto Set Dependency and Trade-Offs Causality in Configuration Design

Multiobjective design optimization studies typically derive Pareto sets or use a scalar substitute function to capture design trade-offs, leaving it up to the designer’s intuition to use this information for design refinements and decision-making. Understanding the causality of trade-offs more deeply, beyond simple postoptimality parametric studies, would be particularly valuable in configuration design problems to guide configuration redesign....
