a plan/solution

if and only if
the two following
conditions are true:
▪
x
1
is no worse than x
2
in all objectives,
i.e. f
j
(x

) ≤ f
j
(x

∀
j=1,...,
M.
▪
x

is strictly better than x

in at least one objective
,
i.e. f
j
(
x

j
(x

{1,...,M}.
Inverse Optimisation and Planning: A Multi-Objective (MO) Problem
Among a set of solutions
P
,
the
non-dominated set of
solutions
P'
are those that
are not
dominated
by any other member of the set
P
:
The Pareto Optimal Set P’
.
For the case that the set
P
is
the entire feasible search space then the set
P'
is called
the
global Pareto Optimal Set
.
The image
f(x)
of the
Pareto Optimal Set
is called the
Pareto Front (PF)
.
The
Pareto Optimal Set
is defined in the
Parameter Space
, while the
Pareto Front
is
defined in the
Objective Space
.
