Abstract

The datastructure “quad tree” is used to identify efficent solutions of discrete vector optimization problems. This datastructure is very well suited to support several types of searches among the set of efficient solutions. Computational experiences with the construction of the set of efficient solutions of some randomly generated test problems are reported.
