- QUOTE: The term objective used in Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization refers to an indicator of quality returning an element from an ordered set of scalar values, such as a real number. For any test-based coevolutionary problem, a set of underlying objectives exists such that knowledge of the objective values of an individual is sufficient to determine the outcomes of all possible tests. The existence of a set of underlying objectives is guaranteed, as the set of possible tests itself satisfies this property.
