It is a challenging task to identify the objectives on which a certain decision was based, in particular if several, potentially conflicting criteria are equally important and a continuous set of optimal compromise decisions exists. This task can be understood as the inverse problem of...

Given an instance of a weighted combinatorial optimization problem and its feasible solution, the usual inverse problem is to modify as little as possible (with respect to a fixed norm) the given weight system to make the giiven feasible solution optimal. We focus on its 0-1 version, which is to...
