Transformation and restructuring of linear multiobjective programs: A fundamental method to resolve complex problems (Q1178997)

One of the major approaches that deals with multiple criteria decision problems is to identify the set of nondominated solutions. Nondominated solutions are presented to the decision maker (DM) and the DM is expected to subjectively select the best one. The main difficulty with this approach is that the nondominated set is often quite large and the DM finds it difficult to make the best choice. The second author [``Multiple criteria decision making. Concepts, techniques, and extensions'' (1985; Zbl 0643.90045)] has proposed a promising approach to reduce the nondominated points by restructuring the problems. This paper is an implementation of this method.
