Abstract

An algorithm for enumerating all nondominated vectors of multiple objectiveinteger linear programs is presented. The method tests different regionswhere candidates can be found using an auxiliary binary problem for trackingthe regions already explored. An experimental comparision with our previousefforts shows the method has relatively good time performance.
