Reference Point Optimization — The Nonlinear Case

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 209))

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the interactive use of a multicriteria programming package for multicriteria decision support. The approach is based on the reference point method. Implementation of the system in the multicriteria nonlinear programming case is discussed, and basic features of the user — computer interface are presented.
