Abstract Mathematical models of linear discrete-time set-valued Pareto-Nash-Stackelberg control processes are examined as extension of mono-valued Pareto-Nash-Stackelberg control models proposed by V. Ungureanu in [10]. A straightforward principle is applied to solve Pareto-Nash-Stackelberg control problems. Models and results are presented in natural order by beginning with the simplest case a...

In the literature of analyzing extremes, both generalized Pareto distribution and Pareto distribution are employed to infer the tail of a distribution with a known positive extreme value index. Similar studies exist for a known negative extreme value index. Intuitively, one should not employ the generalized Pareto distribution in case of knowing the sign of the extreme value index. In this pape...

In the present paper, a bicriterial optimal control problem governed by an abstract evolution problem and bilateral control constraints is considered. To compute Pareto optimal points and the Pareto front numerically, the (Euclidean) reference point method is applied, where many scalar constrained optimization problems have to be solved. For this reason a reduced-order approach based on proper ...

We analyze the Pareto efficiency, or inefficiency, of solutions to routing games and load balancing games, focusing on Nash equilibria and greedy solutions to these games. For some settings, we show that the solutions are necessarily Pareto optimal. When this is not the case, we provide a measure to quantify the distance of the solution from Pareto efficiency. Using this measure, we provide upp...

We consider the notion of Pareto optimality under the assumption that only the pairwise majority relation is known and show that the set of necessarily Pareto optimal alternatives coincides with the McKelvey uncovered set. As a consequence, the McKelvey uncovered set constitutes the coarsest Pareto optimal majoritarian social choice function. Moreover, every majority relation is induced by a pr...

This paper uses integrated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) and then applies integrated DEA ranking method as a criterion to modify Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding Pareto optimal solutions of a Multi Objective Programming (MOP) problem. The researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify GA to d...

In multi-objective problems, it is desirable to use a fast algorithm that gains coverage over large parts of the Pareto front. The simplest multi-objective method is a linear combination of objectives given to a single-objective optimizer. However, it is proven that this method cannot support solutions on the concave areas of the Pareto front: one of the points on the convex parts of the Pareto...

In the past few years, multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithms have been extensively applied in several fields including engineering design problems. A major reason is the advancement of evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) algorithms that are able to find a set of non-dominated points spread on the respective Pareto-optimal front in a single simulation. Besides just finding a ...

This paper is about learning a continuous approximation of the Pareto frontier in Multi–Objective Markov Decision Problems (MOMDPs). We propose a policy–based approach that exploits gradient information to generate solutions close to the Pareto ones. Differently from previous policy–gradient multi–objective algorithms, where n optimization routines are used to have n solutions, our approach per...

Design of any complex system entails many objectives to reach and constraints to satisfy. This multi–objective nature of the problem ensures that the technology solution is always a compromise between conflicting objectives. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of Niched Pareto genetic algorithm as a relatively fast and straightforward method for obtaining technology sets...
