A M C M Representation of the Non-dominated Set in Biobjective Combinatorial Optimization Representation of the Non-dominated Set in Biobjective Combinatorial Optimization

This article introduces several algorithms for finding a representative subset of the non-dominated point set of a biobjective combinatorial optimization problem with respect to uniformity, coverage and the -indicator. These representation problems are formulated as particular facility location problems with a special location structure, which allows for polynomial-time algorithms in the biobjective case based on the principles of dynamic programming and threshold approaches. In addition, we show that several multiobjective variants of these representation problems are also solvable in polynomial time. Computational results obtained by these approaches on a wide range of randomly generated point sets are presented and discussed.
