Abstract :
The outline of a methodology for adaptive hierarchical multiobjective function optimization in a fuzzy sense is presented, suitable for circuit optimization and able to mimic to some extent the designer´s interactive circuit design process. It is an effort to generalize and go beyond the Taguchi methodology of variability-then-target optimization with the addition of automated selection of optimization variables. The methodology allows for the simultaneous and/or sequential optimization of an arbitrary number of statistical measures of an arbitrary number of circuit performances
