Single- and multicriteria optimization as a tool of decision support system

Abstract An interactive decision support system was developed on an IBM PC in the fortran language by connecting six various types of single-criterion and seven various multicriteria optimization methods. Several mathematical test problems were used to determine the effectiveness and the applicability of the algorithms. In the test problems two objective functions, twelve inequality constraints, and two variables were used. Using the system it is possible to make 3D drawings of the objective functions with nets and central projection.
