Convergence Time Analysis for the Multi-objective Counting Ones Problem

We propose a multi-objective generalisation for the well known Counting Ones problem, called the Multi-objective Counting Ones (MOCO) function. It is shown that the problem has four qualitative different regions. We have constructed a convergence time model for the Simple Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimiser (SEMO) algorithm. The analysis gives insight in the convergence behaviour in each region of the MOCO problem. The model predicts a ` ln ` running time, which is confirmed by the experimental runs.
