An algorithm for generating Lagrangian bound sets in Multiobjective Integer Programming

Lagrangian relaxation is a well-established technique for deriving strong bounds in single-objective discrete optimization. Its generalization to the multiobjective setting is not straightforward, as preserving the multiobjective structure leads to bound sets rather than scalar bounds. Recent studies show the existence of Lagrange multipliers that can yield tighter bound sets than those obtained from convex … Read more

An algorithmic framework in the criterion space for bi-objective mixed integer linear problems

We propose a flexible and general algorithmic framework for solving bi-objective mixed integer linear programming problems. The Pareto frontier of these problems can have a complex structure, as it can include isolated points, open, half-open and closed line segments. Therefore, its exact detection is an achievable though hard computational task. Operating in the criterion space, … Read more
