Synopsis: Thisbook opens the door to multiobjective optimization for students in fields suchas engineering, management, economics and applied mathematics. It offers acomprehensive introduction to multiobjective optimization, with a primaryemphasis on multiobjective linear programming and multiobjective integer/mixedinteger programming. A didactic book, it is mainly intended for undergraduateand graduate students, but can also be useful for researchers andpractitioners. Further, it is accompanied by an interactive software package -developed by the authors for Windows platforms - which can be used for teachingand decision-making support purposes in multiobjective linear programmingproblems. Thus, besides the textbook's coverage of the essential concepts,theory and methods, complemented with illustrative examples and exercises, thecomputational tool enables students to experiment and enhance their technicalskills, as well as to capture the essential characteristics of real-worldproblems.
