Abstract: Abstract There is much controversy about the balance space approach, introduced first in Ref. 1, pp. 138–140, with the consideration of the balance number and balance vectors, and then further developed in Ref. 2, with the consideration of balance points and balance sets. There were attempts to identify the balance space approach with some other methods of multiobjective optimization, notably the method proposed in Ref. 3 and most recently Pareto analysis, as presented in Ref. 4. In this paper, we compare Pareto analysis with the balance space approach on several examples to demonstrate the interrelation and the differences of the two methods. As a byproduct, it is shown that, in some cases, the entire Pareto sets, proper and adjoint, can be determined very simply, without any special investigation of the (nonscalarized, nonconvex) multiobjective global optimization problem. The method of parameter introduction is presented in application to determining the Pareto sets and balance set. The use of computer graphics software complemented with the Gauss–Jordan matrix reduction algorithm is proposed for a class of otherwise intractable problems with nonconvex constraint sets.
