Abstract

The standard multiple criteria optimization starts with anassumption that the criteria are incomparable. However, there are manyapplications in which the criteria express ideas of allocation ofresources meant to achieve some equitable distribution. This paperfocuses on solving linear multiple criteria optimization problems withuniform criteria treated in an equitable way. An axiomatic definition ofequitable efficiency is introduced as an refinement ofPareto-optimality. Various generation techniques are examined and thestructure of the equitably efficient set is analyzed.
