Abstract

The needle optimization technique has been developed so as to agree a necessity of the mathematical formalization of the design problem with a specific uncertainty of the concept of the optimal design. It allows to find a practically optimal design in the course of the design process. Future developments of the needle optimization technique are connected with a search for multiple solutions to the design problem and with a search for optimal solutions when new non-standard formulation of the design problem are used.
