We generated 1200 sets of solutions, represented as allocation maps.
The resulting sets of solutions provide the flexibility and adaptability needed to build a PVGCP.
Two sets of solutions are obtained according to spherical and cylindrical inclusions.
In particular, the solution of multi-objective problems is aimed at with the implementation of the concept of pareto-optimal sets of solutions.
Two combinations of performance and complexity criteria are used to steer the selection of model structures, resulting in distinct sets of solutions.
Since the expected result in MOO tasks is usually a set of Pareto-optimal solutions, the optimization problem states assumed here are themselves sets of solutions.
The obtained sets of solutions are then used to assess the performance of five novel heuristics proposed to solve the problem, i.e., two centralised and three decentralised.
Both sets of solutions are the general solutions for all flow configurations of parallel tube platen systems where the flow parameters in the headers are one-dimensional and those in connecting tubes are three-dimensional.
As such, the call for ingenuity and engineering ability to provide appropriate sets of solutions based in the regional and local requirements as defined in the aspiration of the United Nations ''Millennium Goals'' must be upheld with tenacity.
The presented methodology is based on (1) analytical Procrustes analysis, to rapidly eliminate unlikely sets of solutions, and then (2) pairwise optimization of fixture configurations for a given part family.
Then the cases with one or several sets of solutions, obtained for the same position parameters, velocities, active forces and friction parameters, can be related to positions of the system with different modes of contact between sliders and guiding surfaces.
