Systems and methods for determining costs associated with a selected objective
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing a method comprising:
- generating a first set of parameters associated with a non-selected objective and a second set of parameters associated with a selected objective, the first and second set of parameters being based on a value set;
generating costs for the value set at a first cost range based on the first set of parameters if the first set of parameters do not meet constraints associated with the non-selected objective;
generating costs for the value set at a second cost range based on the second set of parameters if the first set of parameters do meet constraints associated with the non-selected objective, the first cost range being substantially higher than the second cost range; and
repeating generating costs, storing value sets, and value set variations and executing a genetic algorithm, until a desirable value set variation is determined to have an acceptable cost within the second cost range based on the selected objective.

Abstract
Systems and methods associated with costs of a selected objective are disclosed. One embodiment of a system may comprise a constraint evaluator that evaluates a value set associated with a plurality of objectives to determine if a non-selected objective has violated at least one constraint. The system may further comprise a cost function configurable to evaluate a cost associated with the value set at a first cost range if the value set violates the at least one constraint associated with the non-selected objective, and to evaluate a cost associated with the value set at a second cost range associated with the selected objective if the value set does not violate the at least one constraint associated with the non-selected objective, such that the second cost range is different from the first cost range.
