Abstract :

There have been many productive methods developed so far for optimization of multiple response surface (MRS) problems. This paper tends to review the most seminal approaches in MRS and discuss the strength and weakness of each of the approaches through existing aspects in MRS. A numerical example is included to compare results by different methods. Finally some of the prominent areas for future research discussed by different researchers are presented.
