Abstract: The sequential quadratic programming and genetic algorithms are finely tuned on the optimal design of a brushless DC wheel motor. Combining both methods, a hybrid approach is tested. Multiobjective optimizations are performed using Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm, Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm, and a variable weighted sum of objectives with the sequential quadratic programming. The Pareto fronts are compared in term of accuracy, uniformity, and coverage criteria using some quality indicators.

Keywords: Sequential quadratic programming, genetic algorithms, mixed-integer optimization, multiobjective optimization
