Child poverty remains a significant concern across Europe and citizens regard policy interventions that effectively address this issue to be of utmost importance. In this work, we analyse the potential of social transfer policy alternatives to alleviate child and overall poverty simultaneously in European countries. Using a logistic regression to define the objective functions and constraints, we rely on multiobjective programming to assess key features of national social transfer systems that can minimize child and overall poverty and tend to equal both levels downwards. Taking into account the starting levels of each country, the results underline the importance of finding an adequate combination of pro-child and pro-poor targeting of social transfer policies. For most European countries, an increase in the level of cash benefits for children is advisable - particularly universal benefits - except in Croatia, the Netherlands, and Norway. Nonetheless, in France, Greece, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain, the recommended proportion of GDP allocated to universal cash benefits is lower than the proportion allocated to means-tested benefits. In this regard, our research provides an innovative approach for policymakers to optimize poverty reduction strategies by contributing valuable insights for the design and implementation of effective social transfer policies to combat child and overall poverty in European countries.

This paper deals with the connectedness of the cone-efficient solution set for vector optimization in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces. The connectedness of the cone-efficient solution set is proved for multiobjective programming defined by a continuous one-to-one cone-quasiconvex mapping on a compact convex set of alternatives. During the proof, the generalized saddle theorem plays a key role.

Based on the credibility theory,this paper is devoted to the fuzzy multiobjective programming *** this purpose, we first present the expected value model of the fuzzy multiobjective programming problem and investigate its properties. To solve the problem,we design a theoretical method under the credibility measure,called the method of primary objective function,which transforms the multiobjective problem into the single objective ***,a numerical example is given to explain the method of primary objective function specifically. The theoretical results obtained in this paper can facilitate us to design algorithms to solve the FMOP problem.

For a linear-programming problem with q ( greater than or equal to 2) objective functions (that is, a multiobjective linear-programming problem), we propose a method for ranking the full set or a subset of efficient extreme-point solutions. The idea is to enclose the given efficient solutions, as represented by q-dimensional points in objective space, within an annulus of minimum width, where the width is determined by a hypersphere that minimizes the maximum deviation of the points from the surface of the hypersphere. We argue that the hypersphere represents a surface of compromise and that the point closest to its surface should be considered as the "best" compromise efficient solution. Also, given a ranked (sub)set of efficient solutions, a procedure is given that associates to each efficient solution a set of q positive weights that causes the efficient solution to be optimal with respect to the given set of efficient solutions.

This paper concerns an optimization problem over the efficient set of a multiobjective linear programming problem. We propose and solve an equivalent mixed integer programming (MIP) problem to compute an optimal solution to the original problem. Compared with the previous MIP approach by Sun, the proposed approach relaxes a strong assumption and reduces the numbers of constraints and binary variables of the MIP problem. By conducting numerical experiments, we find that the proposed approach is more accurate and faster than the previous MIP approach. The proposed MIP problem can be efficiently solved with current state-of-the-art MIP solvers when the objective function is convex or linear.

The present paper gives a new computational algorithm for the solution of multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IV-IF) environment. In MOLP problem which occurs in agricultural production planning, industrial planning and waste management. The parameters involved in real-life MOLP problems are impure, and several pioneer works have been done based on fuzzy or intuitionistic fuzzy sets for its compromise solutions. But many times the degree of membership and non-membership for certain element is not defined in exact numbers, so we observe another important kind of uncertainty. Thus fixed values of membership and non-membership cannot handle such uncertainty involved in real-life MOLP problem. Atanassov and Gargov first identified it and presented concept of IV-IF sets which is characterized by sub-intervals of unit interval. In this paper, we study IV-IF sets and develop a new computational method for the solution of real-life MOLP problems based on IV-IF sets. Further, the developed method has been presented in the form of a computational algorithm and implemented on a production problem, and solutions are compared with other existing methods.

This study aims at utilizing the dynamic behavior of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to solve multiobjective programming (MOP) and multilevel programming (MLP) problems. The traditional and nontraditional approaches to the MLP are first classified into five categories. Then, based on the approach proposed by Hopfield and Tank [1], the optimization problem is converted into a system of nonlinear differential equations through the use of an energy function and Lagrange multipliers. Finally, the procedure is extended to MOP and MLP problems. To solve the resulting differential equations, a steepest descent search technique is used. This proposed nontraditional algorithm is efficient for solving complex problems, and is especially useful for implementation on a large-scale VLSI, in which the MOP and MLP problems can be solved on a real time basis. To illustrate the approach, several numerical examples are solved and compared. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this article, an exact method is proposed to optimize two preference functions over the efficient set of a multiobjective integer linear program (MOILP). This kind of problems arises whenever two associated decision-makers have to optimize their respective preference functions over many efficient solutions. For this purpose, we develop a branch-and-cut algorithm based on linear programming, for finding efficient solutions in terms of both preference functions and MOILP problem, without explicitly enumerating all efficient solutions of MOILP problem. The branch and bound process, strengthened by efficient cuts and tests, allows us to prune a large number of nodes in the tree to avoid many solutions. An illustrative example and an experimental study are reported.
