On Multicriteria Optimization

This paper examines the state of the art in multicriteria optimization. For this purpose, multicriteria problems are classified in terms of complexity as finite and small, finite and large, and infinite. The relative merits of typical methods for solving each of these classes are discussed and some suggestions for future work are made.
