Abstract

Analytical target cascading is a hierarchical multilevel design methodology. In this method, top-level design targets are cascaded to lower-level design problem in a consistent manner. In this paper, an exterior penalty function formulation for analytical target cascading is developed. The proposed method has a simple formulation and the results shows that the solution from the new method converges to the solution from the all-in-one problem.
