Quantitative parametric connections between methods for generating noninferior solutions in multiobjective optimization

In multiobjective optimization, the trade-o€ information between di€erent objective functions is probably the most important piece of information in a solution process to reach the most preferred solution. Generating methods are the methods in generating noninferior solutions. Di€erent generating methods provide decision makers trade-o€ information in di€erent forms. Various generating methods are characterized in this paper and the quantitative parametric connections between these generating methods are established. The result in this paper is then used to consolidate tradeo€ information with di€erent formats associated with di€erent generating methods. Ó 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
