Problems with multiple objectives and criteria are generally known
as multiple criteria optimization or multiple criteria
decision-making (MCDM) problems. So far, these types of problems
have typically been modelled and solved by means of linear
programming. However, many real-life phenomena are of a nonlinear
nature, which is why we need tools for nonlinear programming
capable of handling several conflicting or incommensurable
objectives. In this case, methods of traditional single objective
optimization and linear programming are not enough; we need new
ways of thinking, new concepts, and new methods - nonlinear
multiobjective optimization. Nonlinear Multiobjective Optimization
provides an extensive, up-to-date, self-contained and consistent
survey, review of the literature and of the state of the art on
nonlinear (deterministic) multiobjective optimization, its methods,
its theory and its background. The amount of literature on
multiobjective optimization is immense. The treatment in this book
is based on approximately 1500 publications in English printed
mainly after the year 1980. Problems related to real-life
applications often contain irregularities and nonsmoothnesses. The
treatment of nondifferentiable multiobjective optimization in the
literature is rather rare. For this reason, this book contains
material about the possibilities, background, theory and methods of
nondifferentiable multiobjective optimization as well. This book is
intended for both researchers and students in the areas of
(applied) mathematics, engineering, economics, operations research
and management science; it is meant for both professionals and
practitioners in many different fields of application. The
intention has been to provide a consistent summary that may help in
selecting an appropriate method for the problem to be solved. It is
hoped the extensive bibliography will be of value to researchers.
