AN APPROACH TO BI-OBJECTIVE GEOMETRIC PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS USING LOGARITHMIC PENALTIES FUNCTIONS

open access: yesBayero Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences
This paper introduces an optimization approach for solving Bi-Objective Geometric Programming Problems (BOGPPs). Using Logarithmic Penalty Function (LPF). The method reformulates the bi-objective programming problem into a single-objective programming framework by combining weighted objectives with logarithmic penalties to handle constraints.
