Multi-objective optimisation of positively homogeneous functions and an application in radiation therapy

CABRERA, GG; Ehrgott, M.; Mason A.; Philpott A

Abstract

Unconstrained multi-objective optimisation problems with p positively homogeneous objective functions are considered. We prove that such problems reduce to multi-objective optimisation problems with p 1 objectives and a single equality constraint. Thus, problems with two objectives can be solved with standard single objective optimisation methods and, for problems with p > 2 objectives, we can compute infinitely many efficient solutions by solving a finite number of single objective problems. The proposed procedure is applied on radiotherapy for cancer treatment. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
