A Bilinear Algorithm for Optimizing a Linear Function over the Efficient Set of a Multiple Objective Linear Programming Problem

The problem Q of optimizing a linear function over the efficient set of a multiple objective linear program serves several useful purposes in multiple criteria decision making. However, Q is in itself a difficult global optimization problem, whose local optima, frequently large in number, need not be globally optimal. Indeed, this is due to the fact that the feasible region of Q is, in general, a nonconvex set. In this paper we present a monotonically increasing algorithm that finds an exact, globally-optimal solution for Q. Our approach does not require any hypothesis on the boundedness of neither the efficient set EP nor the optimal objective value. The proposed algorithm relies on a simplified disjoint bilinear program that can be solved through the use of well-known specifically designed methods within nonconvex optimization. The algorithm has been implemented in C and preliminary numerical results are reported.

Solving Bilevel Linear Programs Using Multiple Objective Linear Programming

We present an algorithm for solving bilevel linear programs that uses simplex pivots on an expanded tableau. The algorithm uses the relationship between multiple objective linear programs and bilevel linear programs along with results for minimizing a linear objective over the efficient set for a multiple objective problem. Results in multiple objective programming needed are presented. We report computational experience demonstrating that this approach is more effective than a standard branch-and-bound algorithm when the number of leader variables is small.

Global Optimization in Practice: An Application to Interactive Multiple Objective Linear Programming

A multiple objective linear programming problem (P) involves the simultaneous maximization of two or more conflicting linear objective functions over a nonempty polyhedron X. Many of the most popular methods for solving this type of problem, including many well-known interactive methods, involve searching the efficient set X _E of the problem. Generally, however, X _E is a complicated, nonconvex set. As a result, concepts and methods from global optimization may be useful in searching X _E. In this paper, we will explain in theory, and show via an actual application to citrus rootstock selection in Florida, how the potential usefulness of the well-known interactive method STEM for solving problem (P) in this way, can depend crucially upon how accurately certain global optimization problems involving minimizations over X _E are solved. In particular, we will show both in theory and in practice that the choice of whether to use the popular but unreliable payoff table approach or to use one of the lesser known, more accurate global optimization methods to solve these problems can determine whether STEM succeeds or fails as a decision aid. Several lessons and conclusions of transferable value derived from this research are also given.

An Outer Approximation Algorithm for Generating All Efficient Extreme Points in the Outcome Set of a Multiple Objective Linear Programming Problem

Various difficulties have been encountered in using decision set-based vector maximization methods to solve a multiple objective linear programming problem (MOLP). Motivated by these difficulties, some researchers in recent years have suggested that outcome set-based approaches should instead be developed and used to solve problem (MOLP). In this article, we present a finite algorithm, called the Outer Approximation Algorithm, for generating the set of all efficient extreme points in the outcome set of problem (MOLP). To our knowledge, the Outer Approximation Algorithm is the first algorithm capable of generating this set. As a by-product, the algorithm also generates the weakly efficient outcome set of problem (MOLP). Because it works in the outcome set rather than in the decision set of problem (MOLP), the Outer Approximation Algorithm has several advantages over decision set-based algorithms. It is also relatively easy to implement. Preliminary computational results for a set of randomly-generated problems are reported. These results tangibly demonstrate the usefulness of using the outcome set approach of the Outer Approximation Algorithm instead of a decision set-based approach. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

A Note on the Recursive and Parallel Structure of the Birge and Qi Factorization for Tree Structured Linear Programs

In this note, we derive the complete recursive structure of the Birge and Qi factorization for interior point methods (IPM) for tree structured linear programs as they appear in multistage stochastic programs. This recursive structure allows for an elegant implementation on parallel hardware, since multiple versions of the same program may be run on on different processors. Our preliminary computational experiment, conducted on a Beowulf cluster, demonstrates the scalability of this approach.

Convergence and Error Bound for Perturbation of Linear Programs

In various penalty/smoothing approaches to solving a linear program, one regularizes the problem by adding to the linear cost function a separable nonlinear function multiplied by a small positive parameter. Popular choices of this nonlinear function include the quadratic function, the logarithm function, and the x ln(x)-entropy function. Furthermore, the solutions generated by such approaches may satisfy the linear constraints only inexactly and thus are optimal solutions of the regularized problem with a perturbed right-hand side. We give a general condition for such an optimal solution to converge to an optimal solution of the original problem as the perturbation parameter tends to zero. In the case where the nonlinear function is strictly convex, we further derive a local (error) bound on the distance from such an optimal solution to the limiting optimal solution of the original problem, expressed in terms of the perturbation parameter.
