IDENTIFICATION OF REDUNDANT OBJECTIVE FUNCTIONS IN MULTI-OBJECTIVE STOCHASTIC FRACTIONAL PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

Redundancy in constraints and variables are usually studied in linear, integer and non-linear programming problems. However, main emphasis has so far been given only to linear programming problems. In this paper, an algorithm that identifies redundant objective functions in multi-objective stochastic fractional programming problems is provided. A solution procedure is also illustrated. This reduces the number of objective functions in cases where redundant objective functions exist.
