"""
Normalizes a list of floats with corresponding bounds.
Parameters
----------
values : list[float]
List of costs to be normalized.
bounds : list[tuple[float, float]] | None, optional
List of tuple of bounds. By default None. If no bounds are passed, the values are returned
unnormalized.
Returns
-------
normalized_costs : list[float]
Normalized costs based on the bounds. If no bounds are given, the values are returned unnormalized.
Also, if min and max bounds are the same, the value of the corresponding objective is set to 1.
