Goal Programming and Multiple Objective Optimizations. Part 1

Abstract

This is Part I of a survey of recent developments in goal programming and multiple objective optimizations. In this part, attention is directed to goal programming with emphasis on the author's own work (with others) in a variety of applications. This includes goal and goal interval programing, as well as characterizations which make it possible to obtain alternate representations and explicit solutions from special structural properties. Possibilities for various goal functionals are explored and delineated. One class of examples is developed in detail and an algorithm is supplied which utilizes sequence of ordinary linear programming problems to solve certain nonlinear and non-convex problems involving maxima of ratios of linear forms.
