There are plenty of scientific papers and wikipedia articles for any complex topic. The point of the article is instead to introduce the topic in plain english without extensive mathematical notation or expressions. The idea _is_ simple. Perhaps I should have added some visualizations of the Pareto front, but I think sometimes these graphs are shown unnecessarily quickly. Besides that what would you add to an introduction that is paramount to one’s understanding?



I think a worked example of a simple problem with some accompanying visualizations would make this a more complete introduction. Links to learn more would be nice too. As it stands it feels half done.


Alright, I see your point. My idea was to create a second article or part 2 with some more practical work using MOGAs if there was any interest. But I can see the benefit of adding a simple example here too.
