A generalization of the averaged Hausdorff distance $\Delta_p$

Talk Abstract: The averaged Hausdorff distance $\Delta_p$ is an inframetric which has been recently used in evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO). We introduce a new two-parameter performance indicator $\Delta_{p,q}$ which generalizes $\Delta_p$ as well as the standard Hausdorff distance. For $p,q \geq 1$ the indicator $\Delta_{p,q}$ (that we call the $(p,q)$-averaged distance) turns out to be a proper metric and preserves some of the $\Delta_p$ advantages. We show several properties of $\Delta_{p,q}$, including a geometrical role for $p$ and $q$, and provide a comparison with $\Delta_p$ and the standard Hausdorff distance.
