Nondominated solution

A feasible multiobjective solution for which no other feasible solution is at least as good in every objective and strictly better in one.

How 2 Manning books explain it

Bayesian Optimization in Action

A nondominated point is a multiobjective solution for which no other considered solution is at least as good in every objective and better in one.

How it is used
Frames multiobjective optimization around retaining solutions that expose trade-offs among competing objectives.
How deep it goes
Defines dominance formally, works through a two-objective toy example, and connects points to Pareto frontiers and hypervolume.
Examples
Uses competing toy objectives, dominated and nondominated points, scatter plots, Pareto-frontier figures, and BoTorch code.
What you can do after
Evaluate/understand which solutions remain optimal under objective trade-offs and how they define a Pareto frontier.

Optimization Algorithms: AI techniques for design, planning, and control problems

A feasible multi-objective solution for which no other feasible solution is at least as good in every objective and strictly better in one.

How it is used
Frames multi-objective decisions as selecting among trade-off-optimal alternatives instead of forcing subjective weights into one score.
How deep it goes
Defines Pareto optimization and contrasts it with weighting, but leaves detailed multi-objective algorithms for later treatment.
Examples
Uses electric-vehicle range and acceleration, plus the 4 × 4 n-queen constraint-satisfaction problem.
What you can do after
Evaluate trade-off alternatives and defer final selection to higher-level preferences or decision-making.
