Simultaneous optimization of multiple objective functions results in a set of trade-off, or Pareto, solutions. Choosing a, in some sense, best solution in this set is in general a challenging task: In the case of three or more objectives…
Many real-world optimisation problems involve multiple objectives. When considered concurrently, they give rise to a set of optimal trade-off solutions, also known as efficient solutions. These solutions have the property that neither…
