A Grid-Based Inverted Generational Distance for Multi/Many-Objective Optimization

Assessing the performance of Pareto front (PF) approximations is a key issue in the field of evolutionary multi/many-objective optimization. Inverted generational distance (IGD) has been widely accepted as a performance indicator for evaluating the comprehensive quality for a PF approximation. However, IGD usually becomes infeasible when facing a real-world optimization problem as it needs to know the true PF a priori. In addition, the time...
