Abstract. The aggregation of objectives in multiple criteria programming is one of the simplest and widely used approach. But it is well known that these techniques sometimes fail ...
A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...
