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…

When solving multi-objective programs, the number of objectives essentially determines the computing time. This can even lead to practically unsolvable problems. Consequently, it is worthwhile to reduce the number of objectives without…
