Abstract

Mathematical research on multicriteria optimization problems predominantly revolves around the set of Pareto optimal solutions. In practice, on the other hand, methods that output a single solution are more widespread. Reference point methods are a successful example of this approach and are widely used in real-world multicriteria optimization. A reference point solution is the solution closest to a given reference point in the objective space.
