Abstract

In this paper, the multi-objective (multiple criteria, vector) optimization is considered. Some examples of such optimization problems are presented, Pareto optimality is introduced, and arbitrage schemes are described. The special case of multi-objective linear optimization is studied, and methods for solving such problems are presented. Pareto optimality for the nonlinear optimization problem is also considered.
