Vector network equilibrium problems and nonlinear scalarization methods

Chen, G. Y.; Goh, C. J.; Yang, X. Q. - In: Computational Statistics 49 (1999) 2, pp. 239-253

The conventional equilibrium problem found in many economics and network models is based on a scalar cost, or a single objective. Recently, equilibrium problems based on a vector cost, or multicriteria, have received considerable attention. In this paper, we study a scalarization method for...
