Abstract: In Bi-Objective Search (BOS), the task is to compute the Pareto-optimal frontier of paths in a graph with two cost values per edge. Recent work introduced a general BOS framework that classifies search nodes and studies how ordering functions affect expansion order. In this paper, we continue this line of research. We further refine the classes of nodes and show that many nodes that were added to the open list and are classified as never-expand nodes still need to be extracted and further examined. Additionally, we introduce a method that enables constant-time dominance checks for the MIN and MAX ordering functions. This allows a practical usage of these ordering functions, as we demonstrate in our experimental section.
