Domination Structures and Nondominated Solutions

  • Chapter
Multicriteria Decision Making

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 211))

Abstract

It is a well-known fact that decision makers are often faced with making decisions involving more than one criterion. Although every decision maker eventually makes his decision based on his intuition or judgement, it does not mean that he cannot benefit from a systematic analysis of his decision problem. In order to aid him in reaching a “good” decision, a number of concepts have been introduced, such as satisfaction, efficiency, utility construction, compromise solution, chance constraints, goal programming, and generalizations such as domination structures and nondominated solutions.
