Figure 1. Generic Pareto front.
Full blue points indicate members of the pareto set. Point (a) is the optimum for objective function for a given value of
(red points). Point (b) minimizes
for another value of
(compared to green points). For a member of the Pareto set, say (c), any attempt to improve a goal involves worsening the other, point (d) for comparison. Empty blue points are other possible solutions that are worse than those in the Pareto set.
