[TASK] Crowding Distance for repeated boundary points

[Jimmy-INL]

---

Issue Description

The crowding distance function should give the points on the boundary of each front a value of infinity. If there are repeated points on the boundary, all of them should get the same distance (infinity)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Without this, the probability of the boundary points will reduce and hence the diversity will reduce which might delay the convergence.

Describe the solution you'd like
If a point (or more) is/are repeated on the boundary of the nondominated front, they all should get the same crowding Distance

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

For Change Control Board: Issue Closure

This review should occur when the issue is imminently going to be closed.

• 1. If the issue is a defect, is the defect fixed?
• 2. If the issue is a defect, is the defect tested for in the regression test system? (If not explain why not.)
• 3. If the issue can impact users, has an email to the users group been written (the email should specify if the defect impacts stable or master)?
• 4. If the issue is a defect, does it impact the latest release branch? If yes, is there any issue tagged with release (create if needed)?
• 5. If the issue is being closed without a pull request, has an explanation of why it is being closed been provided?
