Fourth test problem from the "Walking Fish Group" problem generator toolkit.

makeWFG4Function(n.objectives, k, l)

Arguments

n.objectives

[integer(1)]
Number of objectives.

k

[integer(1)]
Number of position-related parameters. These will automatically be the first k elements from the input vector. This value has to be a multiple of n.objectives - 1.

l

[integer(1)]
Number of distance-related parameters. These will automatically be the last l elements from the input vector.

Value

[smoof_multi_objective_function]

Details

Huband et al. recommend a value of k = 4L position-related parameters for bi-objective problems and k = 2L * (n.objectives - 1L) for many-objective problems. Furthermore the authors recommend a value of l = 20 distance-related parameters. Therefore, if k and/or l are not explicitly defined by the user, their values will be set to the recommended values per default.
