Figure 1. Generic Pareto front.

Figure 1

Full blue points indicate members of the pareto set. Point (a) is the optimum for objective function Inline graphic for a given value of Inline graphic (red points). Point (b) minimizes Inline graphic for another value of Inline graphic (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.
