Efficient and local efficient solutions for assignment type problems
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 35 (2001) no. 3, pp. 301-313.

In this paper, we analyse the multiobjective problem generated by applying a goal programming approach to deal with linear assignment type problem. We specify sufficient conditions for a solution to be efficient for this problem. The notion of efficiency with respect to a neighborhood is also introduced and characterized through sufficient conditions. Unfortunately, these conditions are not necessary in general.

Mots-clés : efficiency, local efficiency, assignment, multiobjective
