Multiobjective mathematical programming has been one of the fastest growing areas of OR/MS during the last 15 years. This paper presents: (1) some reasons for the rapidly growing increase in interest in multiobjective mathematical programming, (2) a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages...

In public policy decision making and in capital planning fractional criterion functions occur. For a given set of desirable target values (goals) \tau _i, this paper develops an algorithm for solving a nonconvex programming problem of the type: Min_{x\in s} Max_i{\phi _i(f_i(x)/g_i(x) - \tau _i), i = 1,...

In this paper we consider a certain aggregate production planning model. This model permits regular and overtime production and allows for backordering of goods for a number of periods. Although the discussed model can be formulated as a linear programming problem a special (noniterative) method...

An embedded network within a linear program is, roughly speaking, a subset of constraints that represent conservation of flow. We examine three broad classes of heuristic techniques---row-scanning deletion, column-scanning deletion, and row-scanning addition---for the extraction of large...
