The single vehicle routing problem with multiple routes is a variant of the vehicle routing problem where the vehicle can be dispatched to several routes during its workday to serve a number of customers. In this paper we propose a goal programming model for multi-objective single vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple routes. To solve the model, we present a heuristic method wh...

ABSTRACT The phenomenon consisting in all the feasible region of a multiple objective linear programming problem being weakly efficient, may be less unlikely than has been believed, particularly for problems whose feasible regions have no interior. To deal with such possibility of complete weak efficiency, we would want to have at our disposal proficient methods to check this situation. So, in ...

This paper gives a brief introduction into multiple objective linear programming and discusses its possibilities in the area of forest management. We overview basic concepts, formulations, and principles of solving multiple objective linear programming problems. As such problems s always require the intervention of a decision-maker behavioral aspectsare also considered. We use an application by...

In order to make a decision in the face of multiple objectives it is necessary to know the relative importance of the different objectives. Yet, it is often very difficult to specify a set of precise weights before possible alternatives solutions are known. In this paper, we present an interactive, iterative method for arriving at an acceptable solution. The decision maker gradually discerns wh...

This book is a study of algorithms for decision making with multiple objectives.

Altho...

This paper introduces the use of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in multiple instance learning. In order to achieve this purpose, a multi-objective grammar-guided genetic programming algorithm (MOG3P-MI) has been designed. This algorithm has been evaluated and compared to other existing multiple instance learning algorithms. Research on the performance of our algorithm is carried out on...

In this paper, we improve the fuzzy compromise approach of Guu and Wu by automatically computing proper membership thresholds instead of choosing them. Indeed, in practice, choosing membership thresholds arbitrarily may result in an infeasible optimization problem. Although we can adjust minimum satisfaction degree to get fuzzy efficient solution, it sometimes makes the process of interactionmo...
