Result: Review of multiobjective linear programming methods. II
Further Information
[For part I see ibid. 31, 47-64 (1984; Zbl 0563.90092).] - The paper is the second part of a critical survey of the existing methods of multiobjective linear programming (MOLP). Applying the terminology introduced in the first part, the classes of the MOLP methods with interactive and a posteriori synthesis of the global model of the decision-maker's preferences (GMDP) are reviewed. The interactive methods are based on progressive determination of the GMDP what is done during exploration of the set of feasible solutions. Two subclasses of the interactive methods are distinguished: with explicit and with implicit trade-off information given by the decision-maker. The parametric linear programming methods and methods for the generation of efficient extreme points are discussed as well as the methods with an a posteriori synthesis of the GMDP. In the final part of the paper, some remarks are made concerning the choice of a MOLP method appropriate for the solution of a real-world problem.
