Multiple Objective Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Authors : Taibi Boumedyen .

Abstract

Many sectors are concerned with complex problems of great dimention that must be optimized. These optimization problems are seldom single-objective : usually, there are several contradictory criteria or objectives that must be satisfied simultaneously. Multi-objective optimization is a discipline centered in the resolution of this kind of problems. It has its roots in the 19th century in a work economy of Edgeworth and Pareto. Initially, it was applied to economic sciences and management, and gradually to engineering sciences. Combinatorial optimization is a held extensively studied by many researchers. Due to its potential for application in real world problems. In this paper, we present a general formulation of Multiple objective combinatorial optimization (MOCO) problems, describe the main characteristics of MOCO problems, and the most important properties and theoretical results for these problems. Also, we propose to enrich the surveys by providing an analysis of recent innovative approaches in this domain.
