Eliminating permanently dominated opportunities in multiple-criteria and multiple-constraint level linear programming (Q1329305)

The concept of a permanently dominated opportunity is introduced for a multiple-criteria and multiple-constraint level linear programming problem and a set of techniques is proposed to recognize and eliminate permanently dominated opportunities from further consideration in the process of solving the given multiple-criteria and multiple-constraint level linear program. When a given problem involves a large number of opportunities the elimination techniques are useful to reduce computation in identifying the set of all potential solutions. An elimination technique is also given for solving multiple-criteria linear programming problem.
