Abstract
The paper presents the authors’ effort to optimize a previously developed interval method for solving multi-criteria problems [17]. The idea is to apply heuristics presented, e.g., in [27], [22], [26] and some new ones, to the Pareto set seeking method. Numerical experiments are presented and parallelization of the algorithm is considered. Based on the tuned algorithm, we propose a new approach to interactive multiple criteria decision making.
