    Note: the Lebesgue measure archive as described in this paper does not have the time complexity stated. Lyndon While recently proved that Fleischer's Lebesgue measure computation algorithm has complexity exponential in the number of objectives, not polynomial as originally claimed. However this does not substantially change the conclusions drawn in this paper.
