Like most multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems, biobjective optimization problems on matroids are in general intractable and their corresponding decision problems are in general NP-hard. In this paper, we consider biobjective…

For readers already familiar with Partial Information Decomposition (PID), we show that PID's definition of synergy enables quantifying at least four different notions of irreducibility. First, we show four common notions of "parts" give…

The goal of multi-objective optimization is to understand optimal trade-offs between competing objective functions by finding the Pareto front, i.e., the set of all Pareto optimal solutions, where no objective can be improved without…

Finding robust solutions of an optimization problem is an important issue in practice, and various concepts on how to define the robustness of a solution have been suggested. The idea of recoverable robustness requires that a solution can…

In this article we show that the boundary of the Pareto critical set of an unconstrained multiobjective optimization problem (MOP) consists of Pareto critical points of subproblems considering subsets of the objective functions. If the…

Solutions to multi-objective optimization problems can generally not be compared or ordered, due to the lack of orderability of the single objectives. Furthermore, decision-makers are often made to believe that scaled objectives can be…
