Determination of efficient points in multiple‐objective location problems

Abstract

This article is devoted to an MCDM problem connected with locational analysis. The MCDM problem can be formulated so as to minimize the distance between a facility and a given set of points. The efficient points of this problem are candidates for optimal solutions to many location problems. We propose an algorithm to find all efficient points when distance is measured by any polyhedral norm.
