Pareto front

In multi-objective optimization, the Pareto front (also called Pareto frontier or Pareto curve) is the set of all Pareto efficient solutions. Informally, this means when there are many distinct objectives to consider in an optimization problem, a Pareto front represents the set of solutions where no solution outperforms any other solution due to trade-offs among the objectives, and that set excludes the remaining solutions which are outperformed. Outperforming is called Pareto dominance: a solution A dominates (outperforms) B if A is no worse than B in every objective, and better than B in at least one objective. The concept is widely used in engineering. It allows the designer to restrict attention to the set of efficient choices, and to make tradeoffs within this set, rather than considering the full range of every parameter.
