We investigate the problem of approximating the Pareto set of biobjective optimization problems with a given number of solutions. This task is relevant for two reasons: (i) Pareto sets are often computationally hard so approximation is a necessary tradeoff to allow polynomial time algorithms; (ii) limiting explicitly the size of the approximation allows the decision maker to control the expected accuracy of approximation and prevents him to be overwhelmed with too many alternatives. Our purpose…
