Robustness in Operations Research/Decision Aid is often associated with min–max and min–max regret criteria. This common approach to determine robust solutions consists in finding a solution which minimizes the maximal cost or regret. Nevertheless, these criteria are known to be too...

In many outranking methods, the alternatives are first compared pairwise to build a valued outranking relation, which is then exploited to derive a recommendation for the decision maker. This paper proposes extensions of Arrow and Raynaud's prudence principle to exploit a valued outranking...

We characterize a preference function that associates a set of prudent orders to a profile of linear orders. First, we prove that the set of prudent orders is the largest set verifying a particular list of axioms. By strengthening these axioms, the prudent order preference function can be fully...

In this paper, we consider the problem of adaptive traffic control on single junctions with the three following objectives to be minimized: the total waiting time and the number of stops for private vehicles, and a public transport criterion. This problem being modeled as a multi-objective mixed...

This thesis deals with several aspects related to solving multi-objective problems, without restriction to the bi-objective case. We consider exact solving, which generates the nondominated set, and approximate solving, which computes an approximation of the nondominated set with a priori...

We consider the the two-machine ow-shop serial-batching scheduling problem where the batches have limited size. Two criteria are considered here. The rst criterion is to minimize the number of batches. This criterion re ects situations where processing of any batch induces a xed cost, which...

Decision making to determine government support policy for agro-energy industry can be assisted by mathematical programming and Multiple Criteria procedures. In this case study, tax credit policy in the French bio-fuel industry producing ethanol and esters is determined. Micro-economic models...
