We introduce in this paper a new starting mechanism for multiple-objective linear programming (MOLP) algorithms. This makes it possible to start an algorithm from any solution in objective space. The original problem is first augmented in such a way that a given starting solution is feasible. The augmentation is explicitly or implicitly controlled by one parameter during the search process, whi...

a theorem was recently introduced to establish a relationship betweengoal programming and fuzzy programming for vectormaximum problems.in this short note it is shown that the relationship does not exist underall circumstances. the necessary correction is proposed.

We develop in this article a geometric approach to duality in Multiple Objective Linear Programming. This approach is based on a very old idea, the duality of polytopes, which can be traced back to the old Greeks. We show that there is an inclusion reversing one-to-one map between the minimal faces of the image of the primal objective and the maximal faces of the image of the dual objective map.

In multiple objective programs [MOP], application functions are established to measure the degree of fulfillment of the decision maker’s requirements (achievement of goals, nearness to an ideal point, satisfaction, etc.) about the objective functions (see e.g. [7, 24]) and are extensively used in the process of finding ”good compromise” solutions. In [6] we demonstrated that the use of interdep...
