M - the number of objectives for this problem

Method Details

evaluate

public void evaluate(Solution solution)

Description copied from interface: Problem

Evaluates the solution, updating the solution's objectives in place. Algorithms must explicitly call this method when appropriate to evaluate new solutions or reevaluate modified solutions.

Parameters:

solution - the solution to be evaluated

generate

public Solution generate()

Description copied from interface: AnalyticalProblem

Returns a randomly-generated solution using the analytical solution to this problem. The exact behavior of this method depends on the implementation, but in general (1) the solutions should be non-dominated and (2) spread uniformly across the Pareto front.

It is not always possible to guarantee these conditions. For example, a discontinuous / disconnected Pareto surface could generate dominated solutions, and a biased problem could result in non-uniform distributions. Therefore, we recommend callers filter solutions through a NondominatedPopulation, in particular one that maintains a spread of solutions.

Furthermore, some implementations may not provide the corresponding decision variables for the solution. These implementations should indicate this by returning a solution with 0 decision variables.

Returns:

a randomly-generated Pareto optimal solution to this problem
