Inverse Optimisation and Planning

A Multi-Objective (MO) Problem

Bi-Objective Pareto Fronts

obtained for

22 prostate implants

. The variety shows that a

single objective optimization with constant importance factors does not give always a good

result.

In general a strong trade-off is observed.

Example of a Pareto Front:

there is

a

strong

trade-off

between the objectives/ objective

functions

f

1

and

f

2

.

The smaller the

f

1

value is that

we want the larger is the corresponding

f

2

value

.

The

“ideal point/plan” I

lies far away form the

front. There is a high dependence on the

selection of the

f

1

value.
