An Interactive Branch and Bound Procedure for Multicriterion Integer Linear Programming

  • Conference paper
Multiple Criteria Decision Making Theory and Application

Abstract

An interactive Branch and Bound Procedure for solving multicriteria integer linear programming problems is suggested. This scheme is a natural extension of branch and bound methodology to the multicriteria framework, and is based on a LIPO branch and bound strategy. Initial results of its computational performance are offered.
