| Summary |
This text takes a broad view of multiobjective programming, emphasizing the methods most useful for continuous problems. It reviews multiobjective programming methods in the context of public decision-making problems. Topics include a review of linear programming, the formulation of the general multiobjective programming problem, much more. 1978 edition |
