In a recent paper, Elmaghraby and Herroelen have presented an algorithm to maximize the present value of a project. Here, with the help of an example, it is shown that the algorithm may not find the optimal solution.

Multi-objective integer programming: A general approach for generating all non-dominated solutions
Oezlen, Melih; Azizoğlu, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-16)
In this paper we develop a general approach to generate all non-dominated solutions of the multi-objective integer programming (MOIP) Problem. Our approach, which is based on the identification of objective efficiency ranges, is an improvement over classical epsilon-constraint method. Objective efficiency ranges are identified by solving simpler MOIP problems with fewer objectives. We first provide the classical epsilon-constraint method on the bi-objective integer programming problem for the sake of comple...
The joint replenishment problem with variable production costs
Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Frenk, J. B. G. (Elsevier BV, 2006-11-01)
This paper discusses an approach to solve the joint replenishment problem in a production environment with variable production cost. These variable production costs occur due to economies of scale in production. Under this environment, the model leads to a global optimization problem, which is investigated by using some standard results from convex analysis. Consequently, an effective and exact solution procedure is proposed. The proposed procedure is guaranteed to return a solution with a predetermined qua...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem
Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
A NEW HEURISTIC APPROACH FOR THE MULTIITEM DYNAMIC LOT-SIZING PROBLEM
KIRCA, O; KOKTEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1994-06-09)
In this paper a framework for a new heuristic approach for solving the single level multi-item capacitated dynamic lot sizing problem is presented. The approach uses an iterative item-by-item strategy for generating solutions to the problem. In each iteration a set of items are scheduled over the planning horizon and the procedure terminates when all items are scheduled. An algorithm that implements this approach is developed in which in each iteration a single item is selected and scheduled over the planni...
Multiobjective traveling salesperson problem on Halin graphs
Ozpeynirci, Ozgur; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01)
In this paper, we study traveling salesperson (TSP) and bottleneck traveling salesperson (BTSP) problems on special graphs called Halin graphs. Although both problems are NP-Hard on general graphs, they are polynomially solvable on Halin graphs. We address the multiobjective versions of these problems. We show computational complexities of finding a single nondominated point as well as finding all nondominated points for different objective function combinations. We develop algorithms for the polynomially s...
