In this paper we propose a linear scalarization proximal point algorithm for solving arbitrary lower semicontinuous quasiconvex multiobjective minimization problems. Under some natural assumptions and using the condition that the proximal parameters are bounded we prove the convergence of the sequence generated by the algorithm and when the objective functions are continuous, we prove the … Read more

Using Hiriart-Urruty’s signed distance function, we present new definitions of strong slopes for a vector-valued map recently introduced in [E.M. Bednarczuk, A.Y., Kruger, Error bounds for vector-valued functions on metric spaces. Vietnam J. Math. 40 (2012), no. 2-3, 165-180]. With the new presentation, we are able to show that these slopes enjoy most properties of … Read more
In this paper, we establish a new version of Ekeland’s variational principle in a new setting of cone pseudo-quasimetric spaces. In constrast to metric spaces, we do not require that each forward Cauchy sequence is forward convergent and that each forward convergent sequence has the unique forward limit. The motivation of this paper comes from … Read more
We propose an SQP type method for constrained nonlinear multiobjective optimization. The proposed algorithm maintains a list of nondominated points that is improved both for spread along the Pareto front and optimality by solving singleobjective constrained optimization problems. Under appropriate differentiability assumptions we discuss convergence to local optimal Pareto points. We provide numerical results for … Read more
This paper deals with the problem of finding convex bulges on the Pareto-front of a multi-objective optimization problem. The point of maximum bulge is of particular interest as this point shows good trade-off properties and it is also close to the non-attainable utopia point. Our approach is to use a population based algorithm to simultaneously … Read more
We present a new algorithm for optimizing a linear function over the set of efficient solutions of a multiobjective integer program MOIP. The algorithm’s success relies on the efficiency of a new algorithm for enumerating the nondominated points of a MOIP, which is the result of employing a novel criterion space decomposition scheme which (1) … Read more
Beam search is a tree search procedure where, at each level of the tree, at most W nodes are kept. This results in a metaheuristic whose solving time is polynomial in W. Popular for single-objective problems, beam search has only received little attention in the context of multi-objective optimization. By introducing the concepts of oracle … Read more
With the introduction of new technologies like electric vehicles and smart grids the operation and planning of power systems are subject to major changes. These technologies can bring various ftexibilities to different entities involved in decision making. This paper proposes a robust optimization based method to optimal charging/discharging of electric vehicles con sidering the electricity … Read more
We propose an extension of the classical real-valued external penalty method to the multicriteria optimization setting. As its single objective counterpart, it also requires an external penalty function for the constraint set, as well as an exogenous divergent sequence of nonnegative real numbers, the so-called penalty parameters, but, differently from the scalar procedure, the vector-valued … Read more
