Algorithm for 0-1 nonlinear goal programming and its application to optimization problem of a system reliability

摘要

Recently, multiplecriteria decision making (MCDM) has been well established as a practical approach to seek a satisfactory solution to a decision making problem. Goal programming (GP) is one of the most powerful MCDM methods. In the realistic decision making problems, many GP problems involve a large number of 0-1 decision variables. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving 0-1 nonlinear goal programming problem. This algorithm has an effect on the computer storage required and the computational time.
