Indeed, the two objective functions oppose each other: what decreases the
value of one, increases the value of the other. In some cases, one function
can dominate the aggregated objective function regardless of the weighting
values.
The actual postures associated with the points in Tables 3.4 and 3.5 are
shown in Figures 3.7 and 3.8 . In evaluating the visual results, we are concerned
