Convex multiobjective programming problems and multiplicative programming problems have important applications in areas such as finance, economics, bond portfolio optimization, engineering, and other fields. This paper presents a quite easy algorithm for generating a number of efficient outcome solutions for convex multiobjective programming problems. As an application, we propose an outer approximation algorithm in the outcome space for solving the multiplicative convex program. The computational results are provided on several test problems.

We consider the proximal point method for solving unconstrained multiobjective programming problems including two families of real convex functions, one of them defined on the positive orthant and used for modifying a variant of the logarithm-quadratic regularization introduced recently and the other for defining a family of scalar representations based on 0-coercive convex functions. We show convergent results, in particular, each limit point of the sequence generated by the method is a weak Pareto solution. Numerical results over fourteen test problems are shown, some of them with complicated pareto sets.

In this paper, we present a global optimization algorithm for solving the D.C. multiplicative programming (DCMP) over a convex compact subset. By introducing auxiliary variables, we give a transformation under which both the objective and the feasible region turn to be d.c.Then we solve equivalent D.C. programming problem by branch and bound method and outer approximation algorithm.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel partially distributed outer approximation algorithm, named PaDOA, for solving a class of structured mixed integer convex programming problems to global optimality. The proposed scheme uses an iterative outer approximation method for coupled mixed integer optimization problems with separable convex objective functions, affine coupling constraints, and compact domain. PaDOA proceeds by alternating between solving large-scale structured mixed-integer linear programming problems and partially decoupled mixed-integer nonlinear programming subproblems that comprise much fewer integer variables. We establish conditions under which PaDOA converges to global minimizers after a finite number of iterations and verify these properties with an application to thermostatically controlled loads and to mixed-integer regression.

Optimization problems with multiple criteria measuring solution quality can be modeled as multiobjective programming problems. Because the objective functions are usually in conflict, there is not a single feasible solution that can optimize all objective functions simultaneously. An optimal solution is one that is most preferred by the decision maker (DM) among all feasible solutions. An optimal solution must be nondominated but a multiobjective programming problem may have, possibly infinitely, many nondominated solutions. Therefore, tradeoffs must be made in searching for an optimal solution. Hence, the DM's preference information is elicited and used when a multiobjective programming problem is solved. The model, concepts and definitions of multiobjective programming are presented and solution methods are briefly discussed. Examples are used to demonstrate the concepts and solution methods. Graphics are used in these examples to facilitate understanding.
