Pareto frontier plot error

I am trying to plot the Pareto frontiers for...

Problem A

Minimize f1(x1,x2)=x2*sin(x1)

Minimize f2(x1,x2)=x1+x2

and

Problem B

Minimize f1(x1,x2)=x1^4+(4*x1*x2)

Minimize f2(x1,x2)=x1+(2*x2^2)

I am not sure when a dot/period is needed in f1 and f2 in Lines 2 and 3 for Problem A and B. I am only getting one point on (0,0) for each problem now.

Problem A:

% Functions
f1 = @(x1, x2) x2.*sin(x1);
f2 = @(x1, x2) x1+x2;

% Grid of values 
[x1, x2] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);  

% Calculate the objective functions
F1 = f1(x1, x2);
F2 = f2(x1, x2);

% Weighted average method
weights = 0:0.01:1;

paretoFronts = zeros(length(weights), 2);
for i = 1:length(weights)
    l = weights(i);
    % Weighted sum
     F = l*F1 + (1-l)*F2;
     [minF, idx] = min(F(:));
     paretoFronts(i, :) = [x1(idx), x2(idx)];
end

figure;
plot(paretoFronts(:,1), paretoFronts(:,2), 'o-');
xlabel('x1');
ylabel('x2');
title('Problem 1ii');
grid on;

Problem B:

% Functions
f1 = @(x1, x2) x1.^4+(4*x1.*x2);
f2 = @(x1, x2) x1+(2*x2.^2);

% Grid of values 
[x1, x2] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 0:0.01:1);  

% Calculate the objective functions
F1 = f1(x1, x2);
F2 = f2(x1, x2);

% Weighted average method
weights = -1:0.01:1;

paretoFronts = zeros(length(weights), 2);
for i = 1:length(weights)
    l = weights(i);
    % Weighted sum
     F = l*F1 + (1-l)*F2;
     [minF, idx] = min(F(:));
     paretoFronts(i, :) = [x1(idx), x2(idx)];
end

figure;
plot(paretoFronts(:,1), paretoFronts(:,2), 'o-');
xlabel('x1');
ylabel('x2');
title('Problem 1ii');
grid on;

Answer 1

[Torsten]

In both examples, the two objective functions are not "competitive" since both have (0/0) as optimum combination for x1 and x2 in the range 0 <= x1 <= 1 and 0 <= x2 <= 1. These are bad examples for pareto optimum problems.

[Briana Canet]

Although it's not the best example, are the functions f1 anf f2 written correctly with appropriate placement of "."?

[Torsten]

Yes. As long as x1 and x2 have the same size (which is guaranteed since you generate them using "meshgrid"), the "."'s are appropriately placed.
