In this paper, we deal with the problem of handling solutions in an external archive with the use of a relaxed form of Pareto dominance called ǫ-dominance and a variation of it called paǫ-dominance. These two relaxed forms of Pareto dominance have been used as archiving strategies in some multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). The main objective of this work is to improve the ǫ-domina...

In this paper we study two-person bargaining problems represented by a space of alternatives, a status quo point, and the agents’ preference relations on the alternatives. The notion of a family of increasing sets is introduced, which reflects a particular way of gradually expanding the set of alternatives. For any given family of increasing sets, we present a solution which is Pareto optimal a...

The proposed methodology is based on efficient clustering technique for facilitating the decision-maker in the analysis of the solutions of multi-objective problems .Choosing a solution for system implementation from the Pareto-optimal set can be a difficult task, generally because Pareto-optimal sets can be extremely large or even contain an infinite number of solutions. The proposed technique...

To reduce adverse impact potential and improve diversity outcomes from personnel selection, one promising technique is De Corte, Lievens, and Sackett's (2007) Pareto-optimal weighting strategy. De Corte et al.'s strategy has been demonstrated on (a) a composite of cognitive and noncognitive (e.g., personality) tests (De Corte, Lievens, & Sackett, 2008) and (b) a composite of specific cognitive ...

Geophysical inverse problems typically involve a trade off between data misfit and some prior. Pareto curves trace the optimal trade off between these two competing aims. These curves are commonly used in problems with two-norm priors where they are plotted on a log-log scale and are known as L-curves. For other priors, such as the sparsity-promoting one norm, Pareto curves remain relatively un...

Many real-world problems have a multiobjective character. A-posteriori techniques such as multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) generate best compromise solution sets, i.e. Pareto-fronts and Pareto-sets. Classic MOEA are able to find quite efficiently good approximations of the complete Pareto-fronts also for very complex problems. In real-world applications only small sections of the c...

Weak independence (WI) prevents x from socially ranking above y at profile p if y ranks above x at profile p9 and each individual ordering of hx,yj is the same at p as at p9. If f is transitive-valued and satisfies WI and Pareto then someone has veto power.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
