Abstract A novel approach to parameter optimization of large dynamic systems using vector performance index is described. The approach entails characterizing and determining a set of satisfactory solutions to the multiobjective optimization problem. The satisfactory solutions are defined with respect to a prespecified and satisfactory set of bounds on the indices. A theoretical basis is provided to obtain a compact and connected set of satisfactory solutions in the parameter space. Compactness and connectedness are essential requirements, since they assure a range of values for the parameters. An expedient numerical technique for determining the range of satisfactory values for the parameters is illustrated with an example. The satisfactory solutions approach provides a basis for designing a system with multiple requirements when all of them cannot be formulated in the framework of a composite vector index problem.
