Scalarization is a frequently used approach for finding efficient solutions that satisfy the preferences of the Decision Maker (DM) in multicriteria optimization. The applicability of a scalarization problem to solve integer multicriteria problems depends on the possibilities it provides for the decrease of the computing complexity in finding optimal solutions of this class of problems. This paper presents a reference-neighbourhood scalarizing problem, possessing properties that make it particularly suitable for solving integer problems. One of the aims set in this development has also been the faster obtaining of desired criteria values, defined by the DM, requiring no additional information by him/her. An illustrative example demonstrates the features of this scalarizing problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
