Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to evaluate the performance of an algorithm for bicriteria optimization problems, specifically worst-case boundary, which is more accurate than the original ones. We use a typical multicriteria partitioning problem to serve as an example to illustrate the strength and features of our method. We show the worst-case boundary of the classical LS algorithm, and make comparison on the efficiency between the new method and the former ones. The limitation of simultaneous optimization is also shown in our paper.
