“Strange” : An Interactive Method for Multiobjective Stochastic Linear Programming, and “Strange-Momix” Its Extension to Integer Variables

  • Chapter
Stochastic Versus Fuzzy Approaches to Multiobjective Mathematical Programming under Uncertainty

Part of the book series: Theory and Decision Library ((TDLD,volume 6))

Abstract

Many practical problems, such as investment planning within a long time horizon, can be formulated as multi-objective linear programming in which discrete random coefficients are present in the objective functions and in some constraints. This uncertainty is modelized with the comprehensive language of scenarios, well known in the fields of planning and forecasting.

The STRANGE method is designed to obtain a best compromise for such problem : it involves in particular some concepts of stochastic programming and uses a parametric analysis at each interactive phase to provide the decision maker with detailed information on a large set of efficient solutions. STRANGE-MOMIX is the extension of the method to problems including some integer variables.
