Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluates the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) but does not allow for a ranking of the efficient units themselves. A modified version of DEA based upon comparison of efficient DMUs relative to a reference technology spanned by all other units is...

The purpose of this note is to present a reformulation of the model presented by Konno and Yamazaki (1991). In their paper, it was claimed that (under the assumption that there is no upper limit on the investment in an asset) the number of nonzero assets in the optimal portfolio is at most 2T +...

In this paper we combine the Tchebycheff method of Steuer and Choo with Wierzbicki's Aspiration Criterion Vector method in order to form an improved procedure for interactive multiple objective programming. The Combined procedure is sensible because the Tchebycheff and Aspiration Criterion...

In this paper we present an algorithm for solving infinite-horizon discounted Markov games based upon the fact that the value function is a least element of a superharmonic set. The algorithm produces a pair of policies whose value function is within a specified error of the solution to the...
