Stochastic optimization over the Pareto front by the augmented weighted Tchebychev program

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to deal with multi-objective stochastic integer linear programming problems (MOSILP). Given a stochastic linear function φ, we will optimize it over the full set of efficient solutions of a MOSILP. We convert the latter into an equivalent deterministic problem using uncertain aspirations which are inputs specified by the decision maker. For this purpose, we adopt a 2-stage recourse approach where an augmented weighted Tchebychev program is progressively optimized to generate an efficient solution, the value of the utility function φ is improved to enumerate all efficient solutions. The approach proposed here defines and solves a sequence of progressively more constrained integer linear programs, so that a new efficient solution is generated at each step of the algorithm. A numerical example is presented for illustration.
