MATLAB: Does the fitness functions give me just a Pareto Set of 7 when the population is 20

Question

Hi, I managed to get a Pareto set in every iteration of my genetic algorithm but for some reason it only gives me 7 out of 20 individuals in the Paretos set. Is it ok to give less or it could be something wrong with the fitness function?

Thank you beforehand

Answer 1

All that means is that of the 20 members of your population, only 7 were on the Pareto front. If you want more members on the front, use a larger population.
