Abstract:

In multiobjective optimization and decision analysis, it is common to compute sets of points or polytopes that cover trade-off (hyper)surfaces. In this talk, we will look at computational geometry problems related to this and their computational complexity. Many of these results have been discovered very recently and show that the boundary between the computational problems that are tractable and intractable depends on various parameters and is very sensitive to the number of objectives.
