multiobjective optimization

Multiobjective optimization involves finding the best solutions when there are multiple goals that might conflict, such as maximizing quality while minimizing cost. Instead of a single perfect answer, it identifies a set of optimal trade-offs called "Pareto optimal solutions," where improving one goal would worsen another. This approach helps decision-makers choose the most suitable balance based on their priorities, allowing for more informed and effective choices in complex situations like engineering design, resource management, or scheduling.
