function.mo.dtlz2(X, n_obj=3)

DTLZ2 multi-objective test function (scalable objectives).

DTLZ2 is a scalable test problem with a concave Pareto front (a unit sphere).

Mathematical formulation

f_i(X) = [1 + g(X)] * cos(x1 * π/2) * … * cos(x_{M-i} * π/2) * sin(x_{M-i+1} * π/2) f_M(X) = [1 + g(X)] * sin(x1 * π/2) g(X) = sum((x_i - 0.5)^2 for i in X_M)

Parameters

Name Type Description Default
X array - like Input points with shape (n_samples, n_features) or (n_features,). Can be a 1D array for a single point or 2D array for multiple points. required
n_obj int Number of objectives. Defaults to 3. Must be at least 2 and at most n_features. 3

Returns

Name Type Description
np.ndarray np.ndarray: Objective values with shape (n_samples, n_obj).

Raises

Name Type Description
ValueError If n_obj is invalid or X has insufficient dimensions.

Note

  • Number of objectives: Scalable (typically 3)
  • Typical number of variables: n_obj + k - 1 (often k = 10, so n = 12 for 3 objectives)
  • Search domain: [0, 1]^n
  • Pareto front: Concave (sphere: sum(f_i^2) = 1)
  • Characteristics: Concave, unimodal

Examples

>>> from spotoptim.function.mo import dtlz2
>>> import numpy as np
>>> X = np.array([0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5])
>>> result = dtlz2(X, n_obj=3)
>>> result.shape
(1, 3)
