Approximate Criteria for the Evaluation of Truly Multi-Dimensional Optimization Problems
PublicationIn this paper we propose new improved approximate quality criteria useful in assessing the efficiency of evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO). In the performed comparative study we take into account the various EMO algorithms of the state-of-the-art, in order to objectively assess the EMO performance in highly dimensional spaces. It is well known that useful executive criteria, such as those based on the true Pareto...
