Abstract

In this paper we develop two approaches to find minmax robust efficient solutions for multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems with cardinality-constrained uncertainty. First, we extend an algorithm of Bertsimas and Sim (2003) for the single-objective problem to multi-objective optimization. We propose also an enhancement to accelerate the algorithm, even for the single-objective case, and we develop a faster version for special multi-objective instances. Second, we introduce a deterministic multi-objective problem with sum and bottleneck functions, which provides a superset of the robust efficient solutions. Based on this, we develop a label setting algorithm to solve the multi-objective uncertain shortest path problem. We compare both approaches on instances of the multi-objective uncertain shortest path problem originating from hazardous material transportation.
