Constructing efficient solutions structure of multiobjective linear programming

It is not a difficult task to find a weak Pareto or Pareto solution in a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem. The difficulty lies in finding all these solutions and representing their structure. This paper develops an algorithm for solving this problem.We investigate the solutions and their relationships in the objective space. The algorithm determines finite number of weights, each of which corresponds to a weighted sum problems. By solving these problems, we further obtain all weak Pareto and Pareto solutions of the MOLP and their structure in the constraint space. The algorithm avoids the degeneration problem, which is a major hurdle of previous works, and presents an easy and clear solution structure.  2004 Published by Elsevier Inc.
