In this paper, we introduce a generalized inexact scalarized proximal point algorithm to find Pareto-Clarke critical points and Pareto efficient solutions of quasiconvex multivalued functions defined on Hadamard manifolds considering vectorial and scalar errors to find a critical point of the regularized proximal function in each iteration. Under some assumptions on the problem, we obtain the global convergence of the sequence to a Pareto-Clarke critical point and assuming an extra condition on the proximal parameters we establish convergence to a Pareto efficient solution, approximately linear/superlinear rate of convergence and finite termination of the algorithm. In the convex case, we prove the convergence to a Pareto efficient solution point (more than a weak Pareto efficient solution point). The results of the paper are new even in the Euclidean space.

Rice is the cereal crop that consumes the largest amount of water in the world. To improve the water use efficiency of rice farming and promote the sustainable development of rice production, this study proposes a novel AquaCrop-based optimization modeling approach. First, an AquaCrop-based multiobjective model is constructed to generate dynamic water production functions (WPFs). The NSGA-II algorithm is employed to solve the model, and quadratic dynamic WPFs for rice under different hydrological years (wet, normal and dry) are generated based on the obtained Pareto fronts, which can improve the modeling efficiency and help reflect the complicated reality of water flows. Second, a fuzzy credibility-constrained stochastic multiobjective programming (FCCSMOP) model is developed for irrigation water allocation based on the acquired WPFs. The model addresses the randomness of precipitation and runoff, the fuzziness of decision-makers' preferences, and conflicting objectives of water savings, benefit increments, and water demand during the critical period of rice growth. The proposed simulation-optimization approach was applied to the Changgang irrigation district in northeast China. Optimal irrigation amounts under different decision-making preference scenarios (including conservative, moderate and positive) and different hydrological years were simultaneously generated. The following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The AquaCrop-based multiobjective method is capable of generating WPFs of different hydrological years with sparse discontinuous field experiments;(2) the decision-making preferences of decision-makers significantly impact the economic benefits, water use efficiency, and practicality of schemes;and (3) the FCCSMOP model successfully makes tradeoffs among the three objectives under multiple uncertainties and can further improve the system efficiency and increase planting income in the Changgang irrigation district when its irrigation facilities become optimal.

In this paper, the optimization problem of higher education planning in China is investigated. The present state and internal relation of the Chinese higher education system are analyzed. Meeting the demand of society for the graduates in various specialities and minimizing the total investment in the planning period are taken as the objective of the developing plan for the Chinese higher education system. A multiobjective programming optimization model for Chinese higher education planning is built. The method of linear weighted sum is used to deal with the multiobjective programming. The Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied to determine the weighting coefficients for different objective and the deviation variables of supply and demand for various specialized manpower. The decomposition - coordination method for large system is introduced to solve the problem in calculating the Chinese higher education programming optimization model. Taking each speciality as a subsystem, the model is solved by two levels optimizing and coordinating interation. The model can be used to calculate the optimal valve of the students admitted to and graduate from each speciality of the Chinese higher education institutions every year under various investment programs.

This paper introduces a model developed to provide a rational framework for water resources management of a watershed in Algarve - the Guadiana basin. The model is basically a system dynamics model interfaced with multiobjective programming formulations. The definition of water supply and demand sectors is an essential component of the model which attempts to provide a tool to evaluate the effects of different strategies controlling water supply and demand upon a set of impact variables. The model was run using a simulation period of 10 years.

There are one leader Decision Maker (DM) and several follower DMs in the resource allocation problem. In order to solve the resource allocation problem, this paper presents a method of integrating system decomposition, coordination and incentive control. An algorithm of piecewise linearization is presented to find allocation solusion. The Contract Mechanism (CM) is designed as the incentive strategy to induce follower DMs to tell the truth. The CM not only is ε-inducible for true information, but also encourages follower DMs to work hard.

Using the central value operator and the semi-dispersion measure of fuzzy number, this paper proposes the definitions of the lower and upper semi-variances. A general multiperiod fuzzy portfolio optimization model with return demand on the portfolio at each period is proposed with the objectives of maximizing both terminal wealth and the cumulative diversification degree of portfolios over the whole investment horizon, and minimizing terminal risk. A fuzzy multiobjective nonlinear programming technique is applied to convert the proposed model into a single-objective model. A genetic algorithm (GA) is given to solve it. Besides, a numerical example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed model and the effectiveness of the designed algorithm.

The paper has two main objectives. First, one establish efficiency conditions of Kuhn-Tucker type (with equality in the main constraint) for multiobjective mathematical programs, generated by n-set functions. Second, it is showed that a duality, introduced by Preda in 1999, under the name of "generalized Wolfe duality" has an autonomous character in nonlinear programming. Moreover, weak, direct and converse duality theorems in Preda sense for above mentioned programs are establish.

With the rapid development of mobile communication technology and the continuous expansion of operation scale, the communication network becomes more and more complex. How to reasonably plan the location of base stations according to the existing weak coverage points has always been a difficult problem. By establishing a mathematical model and using the method of computer simulation, this paper optimizes the selection of station site and regional division. Considering that the establishment of the base station should meet that 90% of the traffic of the weak coverage points should be covered by the planned base station, and considering the loss and construction cost caused by repeated coverage, this paper takes the minimum total construction cost and the minimum repeated coverage as the optimization goal, and establishes a multi-objective programming model under the condition of meeting the priority coverage of the weak coverage points with high traffic, The corresponding solutions for station location selection and area division are given by using the method of computer simulation.

This paper is aimed at casting new light on the assessment of secondary schools' performance in Portugal by considering data from the Programme for International Student Assessment 2015. We use the Weighted Russel Directional Distance approach and establish an equivalence model between this Data Envelopment Analysis model and the super-ideal point model, which is then combined with an interactive algorithm. Besides, a procedure to perform robustness analysis has been proposed, allowing decision-makers to understand how sensitive the efficiency of each school to data variation is. Overall, our findings suggest that the average efficient public school has mean scores across all competences above the scores attained by the average public national school, but below the OECD average. In addition, we have concluded that schools operating with the lowest efficiency scores usually need to make a greater effort to improve results in reading when compared to maths and science competences. Finally, schools more often selected as a reference in terms of best practices and which are classified as robust in terms of efficiency are not necessarily performing with high test results, highlighting the need of seeking new benchmarks more consistent with the preferences of the decision-maker.
