The Tchebycheff Procedure of Interactive Multiple Objective Programming

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 56))

Abstract

Reflecting its most recent refinements, this paper provides a detailed description of the interactive Tchebycheff procedure of multiple objective programming. The paper discusses eight prerequiste topics that are fundamental to the understanding of the Tchebycheff method, followed by an algorithmic specification of the procedure. Also, the paper shows how several additional features can be optionally incorporated into the algorithm.
