Abstract

We propose an outcome-space polyblock approximation algorithm for maximizing a function f(x) = ϕ(Cx) over the efficient solution set X E of the multiple objective linear programming problem \( {\rm Max}\: \{ Cx \vert x \in X \}\). The convergence of the algorithm is established. To illustrate the new algorithm, we apply it to the solution of a sample problem.
