The proposed paper tackles multi-objective optimization by introducing a novel approach to parameterize Pareto front surfaces using polar coordinates. This framework enables the representation of any Pareto front surface as a scalar-valued length function, which can be used to derive various statistics of interest, such as expectation, covariance, and quantiles. The authors also develop methods for uncertainty quantification and visualization, showcasing their approach through numerical examples and a real-world case study involving air pollution data.

The paper’s main idea is to make it easier to find the best trade-off points in multi-objective optimization problems. Traditionally, this is done by calculating many different points and then finding the good ones. The new method uses a special way of representing these points using polar coordinates. This makes it possible to calculate statistics like averages and spreads for these points, which can be very useful in making decisions. The authors also show how to visualize this information, which can help people understand complex data better.
