contents In this work, we are concerned with the worst case complexity analysis of "a posteriori" methods for unconstrained multi-objective optimization problems where objective function values can only be obtained by querying a black box. We present two main algorithms, namely DFMOnew and DFMOlight which are based on a linesearch expansion technique. In particular, \DFMOnew, requires a complete exploration of the points in the current set of non-dominated solutions, whereas DFMOlight only requires the exploration around a single point in the set of non-dominated solutions. For these algorithms, we derive worst case iteration and evaluation complexity results. In particular, the complexity results for DFMOlight aligns with those recently proved in the literature for a directional multisearch method. Furthermore, exploiting an expansion technique of the step, we are also able to give further complexity results concerning the number of iterations with a measure of stationarity above a prefixed tolerance.
