Panel A shows the Pareto front for an example bi-objective minimization problem. Point A and point B are non-dominated points on the Pareto front, while point C is dominated by both A and B. Panel B shows example Pareto candidates that can be discovered by the scalarization method for a convex (left) and a non-convex (right) Pareto front. In theory, scalarization cannot recover Pareto candidates in the non-convex part of a non-convex (right) Pareto front, such as Point C [9]. Panel C is a schematic of the Pareto MTL method [8], which first decomposes the bi-objective space into subregions according to a set of preference vectors \(c_k\), and then seeks a Pareto candidate within each subregion
