A Monotonic Optimization Approach for Solving Strictly Quasiconvex Multiobjective Programming Problems

Abstract: In this article, we use the monotonic optimization approach to propose an outcome-space outer approximation by copolyblocks for solving strictly quasiconvex multiobjective programming problems and especially in the case that the objective functions are nonlinear fractional. After the algorithm is terminated, with any given tolerance, we obtain an approximation of the weakly efficient solution set, that contains the whole weakly efficient solution set of the problem. The algorithm is proved to be convergent and it is suitable to be implemented in parallel using standard convex programming tools. Some computational experiments are reported to show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
