Abstract

Application of the non-uniform coverage method to the multicriteria optimization problems was considered, and the concept of the ɛ-Pareto set was formulated and studied. An algorithm to construct a ɛ-Pareto set with a guaranteed accuracy ɛ was described. Efficient implementation of this approach was described, and the results of experiments were presented.
