Convergence Properties of Analytical Target Cascading

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a relatively new methodology for the design of engineering systems.ATC deals with the issue of propagating desirable top level product design specifications (or targets) to appropriate targets at lower levels in a consistent and efficient manner.Most existing problem formulations for multilevel design often exhibit convergence difficulties.In this article, it is proved that under convexity assumptions the ATC process converges to the optimal solution of the original design target problem.
