Piecewise linear multicriteria programs: the continuous case and its discontinuous generalization. (English) Zbl 1274.90345

Summary: In this paper we study piecewise linear multicriteria programs, that is, multicriteria programs with either a continuous or discontinuous piecewise linear objective function and a polyhedron set constraint. We obtain an algebraic representation of a semi-closed polyhedron and apply it to show that the image of a semi-closed polyhedron under a continuous linear function is always one semi-closed polyhedron. We establish that the (weak) Pareto solution/point set of a piecewise linear multicriteria program is the union of finitely many semi-closed polyhedra. We propose an algorithm for finding the Pareto point set of a continuous piecewise linear bi-criteria program and generalize it to the discontinuous case. We apply our algorithm to solve the discontinuous bi-criteria portfolio selection problem with an \(l_{\infty }\) risk measure and transaction costs and show that this algorithm can be improved by using an ideal point strategy.
