Formulation of an Automatic Lens Design Problem by Modification of Weighted Tchebycheff Norm Method

Abstract

Automatic lens design is viewed as a multiobjective optimization problem and is resolved by a minimization of the weighted Tchebycheff norm of objective functions. It is analytically solved using the multiplier method and a solution vector is transformed into the same form as the normal equation of the least squares method. Some numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The resultant solutions can not be obtained using the damped least squares method.
