Abstract

For the last 15 years, many Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) methods with continuous solutions have been developed. In many real world applications, however, discrete variables must be introduced representing, for instance, an investment choice, a production level, etc. The linear mathematical structure is then Integer Linear Programming (ILP), associated with MOLP giving a MOILP problem. Unfortunately, this type of problems has its own difficulties, as it cannot be solved by simply combining ILP and MOLP methods.
